Residential care home operator, Aperee, has entered an agreement to take over the management of seven nursing homes currently operated by the Ditchley Group.

Aperee, the operational arm of the Blackbee Healthcare Fund, has completed a transaction to take over the management of the existing Ditchley nursing homes in Cork, Kerry, Kilkenny and Galway. These homes are all currently trading, and the announcement will have no impact on their day to day operation.
