Grove Hill, an attractive and highly regarded residential care home in the North Wiltshire market town of Highworth near Swindon has been sold to Mr Fezan Islam of Fidelity Healthcare Ltd.
The home provides high quality residential care for up to 27 residents within the categories of old age and dementia care, operating at an effective registration of 20 on account of there being 20 actual bedrooms. James Dunn purchased the business in the late 1980s and added a first phase extension, planning permission for a second phase extension was being granted and is still valid.
Mr Dunn and his wife both operated Grove Hill with a hands-on approach, the home earned an excellent reputation for the provision of care, thus consistently enjoying high occupancy levels. After carefully considering the appropriate time to sell, Mr Dunn appointed DC Care to market the business discreetly and seek a buyer who could carry the business forward.
Grove Hill has been acquired by Mr Fezan Islam of Fidelity Healthcare Ltd, a well-regarded local operator in Wiltshire. Mr Islam seeks to continue growing the business and will use the second phase extension planning permission to expand the home further.
