Care-home ownership changes (8)

Why ownership changes lead this page: a new owner re-tenders insurance, staffing, catering, software and compliance support — and inherits the old registration's rating history. Flagged where a recently deregistered service sits at the same postcode (a heuristic, stated honestly, not a legal record of sale).
