Frequently asked questions
How are UK care homes valued?
Most care homes are valued on EBITDA with a per-bed cross-check. CQC standing, occupancy and the private-pay mix are the main drivers of where the multiple sits.
Does CQC rating change care home value?
Yes. Stronger ratings support higher multiples and more buyer demand. Enforcement or Requires Improvement outcomes usually extend diligence and compress price.
