East Anglian care home provider Athena Care Homes has purchased Alex Wood House and Langdon House care homes in Cambridge.
The transfer from CHS Group enables Athena Care Homes to continue to develop its strong regional presence and brings the two homes – Athena’s six and seventh – to a specialist care home operator.
Langdon House in Chesterton is an established, purpose-built 24-hour residential care home that can accommodate up to 51 residents. It is rated CQC ‘Outstanding’. Alex Wood House in Arbury can accommodate up to 36 residents with higher needs and advanced dementia.
Athena Care Homes will retain all existing team members at Alex Wood House and Langdon House.
Athena Care Homes MD Mala Agarwal said: “We’re delighted to welcome the residents and team, at both Alex Wood House and Langdon House, to the Athena Care Home family. We’re excited to be able to bring our passion for exceptional care to the Cambridge community and to build on the great work of CHS Group.”
Stephen Hills, chief executive of CHS Group, commented: “The decision to sell Alex Wood House and Langdon House has been extremely difficult but will allow CHS Group to focus its efforts on its core offering of social housing and services for people in need in our community. Athena Care Homes is a family-owned care provider in East Anglia which operates with similar values to our own and we are confident that they will be able to continue providing the excellent level of care currently available at both homes.”
