Liaise, a provider of specialist care services for adults with learning disabilities, mental health and other complex needs, has acquired eight new homes in Norfolk from Jeesal Residential Care Services Group, a provider of complex care services.

The eight homes provide a range of personalised residential care services with tailored support to promote independence and involvement in community activities. The homes also offer a range of facilities with large communal areas and gardens for in-house activities.

The acquisition adds 49 people to support, 54 beds and 140 members of staff to Lisise, which now has 45 care homes across the Southeast of England.

Liaise stated it has a strategic ambition to expand its presence in the East Anglia region.

David Petrie, chief executive at Liaise, said: “We are pleased to welcome to Liaise these well-established homes. We also want to welcome our new colleagues to the Liaise team and we look forward to working together to deliver a great service to the people we support by creating environments which help them flourish.”
