May 2025

We are proud to announce that Iris Care Group has acquired ALP Supported Living Services Ltd, significantly expanding our long-standing Supported Living division into Wales with four new specialist services.

This acquisition marks a major milestone in our continued growth and our commitment to providing high-quality, person-centred care. ALP Supported Living has been delivering supported living services to adults across South Wales for more than two decades, and we are excited to welcome their experienced teams to Iris Care Group.

With this addition, our Supported Living division now includes 35 services, extending our provision beyond Gloucestershire and Wiltshire into South Wales for the first time.

Andy Jones, our Chief Executive Officer, said:

“We are delighted to acquire ALP Care and Support, enabling us to deliver high quality supported living services across South Wales. With such a strong supported living division already established in England, we are excited to expand our knowledge and expertise to deliver the same outstanding services in Wales.

As our organisation continues to grow, we are actively seeking to acquire more businesses which further expand our network and service offering.”

Andrea and Leanne Bayliss, Directors of ALP Supported Living Services Ltd, shared:

“We believe Iris Care Group shares our values in providing high-quality support alongside excellent accommodation for vulnerable individuals. We have no doubt they will enhance the support ALP delivers.”

This acquisition is part of Iris Care Group’s broader strategy to grow through the development and acquisition of specialist care and treatment services across the UK.
