Healthcare firm snaps up Leeds care home
Copper Hill Care Home in Leeds is under new ownership after healthcare firm, Armighorn Capital, secured a £3m investment from Frontier Development Capital to make the acquisition.
As part of this transfer in ownership, Copper Hill Care Home has also undergone a rebrand – changing its name to Aspen Hill Village.
This deal marks the latest in a round of acquisitions for Armighorn Capital, which already operates four homes across the Midlands, successfully managing the care of around 179 elderly residents.
Specialising in providing nursing with dementia care, the newly named Aspen Hill Village is well established as one of the biggest care providers in Leeds – offering beds and services for up to 180 residents.
A recent report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) highlighted that the home provided “good” care, but required improvement overall. Armighorn Capital has a proven track record and model of delivering improvements across all CQC measurable areas and will use part of this funding package to carry out refurbishments to the home, which currently comprises of five individual units. A sixth unit, currently mothballed, will also be renovated and reopened.
Navjot Singh, Director at Armighorn Capital, said: “Armighorn has a strong track record of transforming care homes needing improvement. Residents are our most important priority and that this is why when acquiring a new site, we work hard to not only make physical upgrades, but also assess and implement operational changes to raise service quality.
“We plan to apply the same principles to Aspen Hill Village, ensuring that existing and future residents receive the highest standard of care.”
The £3million investment by Frontier Development Capital enabled Armighorn Capital to make the acquisition and commence the delivery of its expansion plans.
Carl Perry, Investment Manager at Frontier Development Capital, said: “By providing this investment, we are helping Armighorn take a positive step on its growth journey to deliver an outstanding quality of care. The firm is well equipped with the expertise and ambition to have a lasting positive impact on the residents of Aspen Hill Village.
“Outside of financial backing, we are committed to working with Armighorn’s management team to help navigate the firm’s expansion both organically and through acquisition.”
