Care home group expands with new acquisition
A BLACK Country care home business has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of a new property in Wolverhampton.
The Belvidere Group has purchased Bellevue Court on Woodcross Road from the HC-One Group. Financial support for the undisclosed deal was provided by Barclays.
The group, which is owned by husband and wife team Dr Shahzada Ahmed and Shamaela Ahmed, has two further homes in the area, Belvidere Residential Home in Dudley and Orton Manor Nursing Home in Water Orton.
Bellevue Court, which was purpose built in 1994, provides nursing care for 64 clients. The name of the home will shortly be changed to Belvidere Court to reflect its new ownership.
Commenting on the purchase Dr Ahmed, said: “The Bellevue Court has a good reputation locally and provides great facilities. We want to build on that and are delighted to have been able to add this home to our existing portfolio and our overall ambition to provide outstanding personalised care.”
Dr Ahmed is a consultant rhinologist and skull-based surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Birmingham Priory Hospital. His surgical interest is in treating conditions of the nose and keyhole surgery through the nose into the brain. He is also Vice Chairman of the Get A Head Charitable Trust.
The day to day running of the homes will be managed by Shameala Ahmed, together with new manager, Iram Khan.
Manoj Patel, Relationship Director at Barclays said: “The Belvidere Group strives to provide a high standard of care. I am delighted we have been able to support them with their strategic growth plan with the acquisition of this care home.”
