Allied Healthcare

History

Allied Healthcare started in 1972, with a nursing home in Staffordshire and in 2011 when it was acquired by Saga group it had 140 branches across the UK and Ireland.

In December 2015, Saga agreed to sell Allied Healthcare to Aurelius Group, a mid-market, pan-european investor.

Nestor Primecare Services Ltd., registered in Stafford, was the legal entity behind the Allied Healthcare brand. It also provides Out-of-hours services.

On 21 April 2018, Allied Healthcare announced it would seek a Company Voluntary Arrangement to protect itself from creditors due to a "highly challenging environment", through it would continue to operate without redundancies. In November 2018 the Care Quality Commission issued a notice saying it had serious doubts about the future of the business and warned local authorities that they might have to intervene. The company said this was "premature and unwarranted" as they had secured further funding support. It subsequently announced it was exploring the sale or transition of services to alternative providers, including the transfer of staff. In November 2018 Nestor Primecare went into administration, it terminated its contract for the out-of-hours service in Birmingham in November 2018. The service was taken over by the Badger GP-run out-of-hours and urgent care cooperative.

In December 2018, significant parts of CRG Homecare and Allied Health care business was acquired by Health Care Resourcing Group(HCRG) from Aurelius. HCRG a specialist healthcare recruitment agency, took over any remaining care contracts at that time and in April 2020 the remaining Nestor Primecare business ceased trading and was wound up.

In 2023 Cera Care acquired CRG Homecare and Allied Healthcare from HCRG.
