Safe Haven is a residential care business in south Wales. It caters for adults with learning difficulties, autism and complex needs. It is located near Mysa’s Partnership of Care portfolio, which provides residential and day care services for adults with complex care requirements. Mysa acquired Partnership of Care in 2023.

Following the acquisition, Mysa now operates 41 care homes and supported living units with 144 beds in total and 11 further beds in development.

Spokespeople for Mysa have said that the group intends to continue growing through further acquisitions, as well as organic growth.
