Care group Anavo has acquired the 75-bed Lindridge Care Home in Hove, East Sussex, from Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SPFT).

Edward Moore, partner at Anavo, said: “We are incredibly excited to welcome Lindridge to our group and see such potential in a home that is very much critical to the healthcare infrastructure of Hove and the wider area.

“It is clear the staff at the home are highly skilled with a real drive to provide the best possible care for residents and we are looking forward to helping them progress the service, whilst continuing to invest in the fabric of the building.”

Brokerage for the transaction was undertaken by Lambert Smith Hampton for SPFT, and Colliers on behalf of Anavo.

Richard Harris, director at Colliers, said: “Following on from their recent acquisition in Scotland, I am very pleased to have supported Anavo in another strategic acquisition for the group.”

Anavo runs 11 homes across the UK and has a new build home in Lancing, West Sussex due to open in the third quarter of the year, plus another development in Whitchurch, Shropshire opening soon.
