Signature Senior Lifestyle may be Britain’s most expensive care home chain, say industry analysts. It operates 36 homes, mostly in the south-east of England around London, and is one of several UK private care chains bought in recent years by Revera Inc, a Canadian care company. Revera is, in turn, wholly owned by the pension fund for Canadian federal government workers, a C$230bn (£150bn) investment firm.
Signature promises “award-winning care, luxurious surroundings and top-quality dining and nutrition”. Indicative fees of £1,900 a week are quoted online for one of its homes, but these can increase if more nursing is needed. The chain is building more homes at a rate of three a year.
