CAMELOT CARE ACQUIRES FORMER DEER PARK CARE HOME IN HOLSWORTHY

We’re pleased to announce our acquisition of a fifth home for Camelot Care with the purchase of the former Deer Park Care Home in Holsworthy, which ceased trading at the end of March 2024.

This purpose-built home on Rydon Road stands in private grounds of approximately 1.8 acres, including gardens and generous parking.

We are excited to add this sizeable home to our portfolio and look forward to providing a new home with high quality dementia care for the residents of Holsworthy and district.

We anticipate providing accommodation for just over 50 residents, each in individual bedrooms with their own wet-room.

Plans are subject to approval by CQC, so more detail will be supplied once this has been granted.

Camelot Care has been providing residential dementia care since 2002 and currently runs four other homes in the South West: Butterfly Lodge in Plymouth; Camelot House and Lodge in Wellington; Avalon Nursing Home in Bridgwater and Chestnut Lodge in Yeovil.

The Holsworthy home, previously owned by Holsworthy Health Care Ltd, was sold to Camelot Care through specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co.

Eve Apperley, business agent at Christie & Co, said: “We received significant interest in the home, however, the seller was very specific in her wish to see it reopen as a care home.“With this in mind, we ensured we found a reputable operator experienced in these types of transactions.

“This acquisition represents an excellent opportunity for Camelot Care to expand its portfolio with a purpose-built care home.

“We wish them, and the seller, the best of luck for the future and look forward to seeing the home reopen shortly.”
