Hamilton House, a substantial care home in Plymouth, Devon, registered for up to 36 residents within the categories of old age, dementia and palliative care has been sold.
Mr Dawson who has owned the home since 1984, is looking forward to a well earned retirement. Since Dawson purchased the home, it has benefitted from extensions and regular refurbishment to maintain its elegant, high spec presentation. The home has been acquired by Ian Darbyshire of Darbyshire Care Ltd, who also acquired Drake House in 2014.
The sale was handled by southern region director Andy Sandel and senior sales negotiator Clare Duffey. Sandel says: "Mr Dawson and some dedicated long serving staff worked hard to turn Hamilton House into a highly successful and reputable care business that generated high profit levels, whilst ensuring high standards in the provision of care were maintained.
"It was felt an operator with local homes, knowledge and experience would be best positioned to continue running the home as efficiently. I wish Darbyshire Care all the best with their latest acquisition, and Mr Dawson a happy retirement."
