Family-run care home operator Ashley Care Group has acquired 37-room Church Farm care home in Hemsby, Norfolk.

Ashley Care Group provides 24 hour residential and dementia care, with all five of its homes set in the Norfolk countryside.

The latest acquisition was facilitated with a commercial mortgage from challenger bank Allica.

Ashley Care Group’s owner Ashley George said: “It’s fantastic to complete this acquisition and we’re looking forward to becoming part of the local Hemsby community. It’s a beautiful part of Norfolk that I have always enjoyed visiting and I am excited to get to know it even better.

“We’ve got plenty of big plans for the future of the business. We’re still on the lookout for other care homes where we think we can add value, while we continue to invest in our existing homes to upgrade the rooms, improve the gardens, and add even more facilities.”
