Emilda Healthcare has purchased Braintree Nursing Home in Essex, a Good-rated home registered to care for adults with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and substance misuse problems. The home is registered for 51 residents and comprises 41 bedrooms spread across two separate two-storey buildings that have been refurbished in recent years.

The home has been owned by Tony McLean and Conor Gallagher of Excellence in Care Group since May 2021.

Emilda Healthcare’s owners have operated in the care sector for more than 20 years and have a medium-term plan to build a new wing and add a further 11-bed facility within the home.

McLean and Gallagher stated: “We are delighted that the home will continue to trade under the leadership of Emilda Healthcare Limited, and that they will continue the legacy of Braintree Nursing Home of serving the local community since it was first established by Vic and Sue Dixon.”

Business property advisor Christie & Co facilitated the sale.

Braintree Nursing Home was sold for an undisclosed price.
