Mysa Care has acquired supported living provider PoC based in Ystrad Mynach, South Wales.

PoC was founded in 2003 by Janine and Scott Darling and employs 250 full-time workers supporting more than 100 service users. Janine Darling will continue in a full-time developmental and transitional role under its new owners.

Mysa Care operates homes across the Southeast of England.

Janine Darling said: “Our priority in selling the business was to ensure that our residents continue to receive the highest levels of care. With Mysa Care we have found an excellent new owner that shares our values and passion for what we do.”

PoC’s shareholders were advised by law firm Hugh James. Grant Thornton UK’s Wales and South West corporate finance team led the sale.

Jamie Roberts, corporate finance director at Grant Thornton in Cardiff said: “Janine and Scott were seeking a true custodian for the business they have worked so hard to build. The PoC brand is an extremely strong one and the founders’ commitment to service users and their people is second to none. This landmark supported living transaction represents an excellent outcome for all parties and a high-quality addition to the Mysa Care brand.”

Financial terms of the deal are undisclosed.
