Hull-based social care group HICA Group has purchased Fairways Care Home in Grimsby from Care Plus Group for an undisclosed price.

Fairways Care Home is a 55-bed single storey, purpose-built home located within a large, landscaped site, providing residential and dementia care.

All 65 staff will continue in their jobs and manager Sam Brackenbury will continue in her role.

In Grimsby HICA also operates Cranwell Court, a 56-bed purpose-built residential and dementia care; the Anchorage a 41-bed specialist care home; and homecare organisation HICA at Home.

A spokesperson for Care Plus Group said: “We are pleased that by selling Fairways as a going concern, all current staff have transferred over to the new owners and there will not be any disruption to the residents and their care. We are proud to be handing Fairways over to another not-for-profit organisation with other care homes locally, allowing Care Plus Group to focus on our community health and social care services.”

HICA’s chief executive Terry Peel said: “As we broaden our care home horizons with the inclusion of Fairways into the HICA portfolio, we eagerly anticipate the opportunities it presents to enhance the lives of our residents and their families. This new venture is part of our ongoing strategy to expand our commitment to delivering exceptional care and support services to the communities we serve.”

Heather Joy, director of operations at HICA added: “We take great pride in extending a warm welcome to both residents and their loved ones at Fairways. Our team is committed to preserving the legacy of exceptional care and support services, previously established by the Care Plus Group. It is an honour to continue to build upon this tradition, infusing it with the unique and caring touch that defines HICA’s approach to compassionate caregiving.”

Brabners solicitors and Healthcare Property Consultants advised on the acquisition.
