Three care homes in South Devon – Beacon House in Dartmouth, and Windward House and Willow House in South Brent – have been sold to Centrum Care Home Group.
In total, the three homes – all of which have been rated ‘Good’ by the CQC – boast 101 bedrooms. Previously owned by Thurlestone Court Ltd, which is run by husband-and-wife Brigitte and Neil Harvey, the homes were brought to market to allow the pair to retire. Following a confidential sales process with Simon Harvey at Christie & Co they were purchased by the Centrum Care Home Group Limited, which owns two homes in Teignmouth – Croft Lodge and The White House – as well as the ‘Outstanding’ rated Bluebird Care Agency in Berkshire.
Tushar Shah and Mehul Shah, directors at Centrum Care Home Group Limited, said: “We are really pleased to acquire the three homes from Brigitte and Neil. They are lovely and already have a positive reputation. We are looking forward to working with the management team to build on the strong foundations laid by Neil and Brigitte.”
Simon Harvey, senior director in Christie & Co’s South West healthcare team, added: “I was delighted to have, once again, worked with Tushar and Mehul and am pleased to have assisted their continued growth and, of course, wish them well for the future with these homes and the Group as a whole. I am equally delighted to have enabled Brigitte and Neil to retire from the care sector after so many years of dedication and committed ownership to these homes. I hope they can now enjoy a well-earned retirement.”
