Lovett Care has announced its acquisition of three care homes in the north of England.

The luxury care home provider has completed the acquisition of Eden Manor in Carlisle from Angela Swift Developments and has also agreed to purchase two additional homes in Harrogate and St Helens. All three deals were transacted through Knight Frank.

Eden Manor Care Home opened in December 2022 and is a bespoke, purpose-built luxury care home, offering residential and dementia care for up to 80 residents.

Chief executive Keith Crockett said: “We are delighted to welcome the residents and our new colleagues at Eden Manor Care Home in Carlisle to the Lovett Care family and are looking forward to growing our portfolio of homes further.

“This is a key milestone in our long-term strategy and consistent with our commitment to deliver the best quality care in attractive market locations.”

Angela Swift, said: “We are delighted that Eden Manor is now in the reliable hands of Lovett Care who share our values, our standards, our compassions and above all our care for the residents for whom Eden Manor is home. The home will continue to strive and be a success with Lovett Care.”  

Julian Evans, head of healthcare at Knight Frank, said: “Knight Frank are delighted to have acted for Angela Swift Developments on the transaction of three state-of-the-art care homes to Lovett Care.

“The Harrogate scheme will be a statement building and demonstrates Lovett’s commitment to provide best-in-class care settings for their clients.”

Lovett Care recently secured financial backing from HIG Capital and is keen to grow and develop elderly care provisions across England.

This ongoing commitment to develop its services has seen the appointment of three new key team members to strengthen its leadership team.

Wendy Westbury joins the group as sales and marketing director, Carlton Strowbridge as acquisitions director and Andrew Williams as development director. All three bring a huge amount of industry experience and will support the ongoing growth strategy.
