Welford Healthcare has acquired the 97-bed purpose-built Parkview Gloucester care home for £17.5m.

The home, which includes 80 ensuite bedrooms and 17 self-contained one- and two-bedroom close care apartments, has been operated by Parkview Gloucester since 2016.

It provides palliative, dementia and end of life care and is situated on the corner of Trier Way and Southgate Street in the centre of Gloucester.

Peter Madden, from Welford Healthcare, said: “We’re delighted to be adding Parkview Gloucester into our operations. The quality building and quality of care at the home, fits into the character of our business and the homes that we operate. We’re looking forward to getting to know the staff and our residents at the home and working with them to ensure they’re getting the best quality of care.”

Richard Harris, co-head of healthcare at Colliers, added: “We’re thrilled to have supported the owners of Parkview together with solicitors, HCR Law on this transaction. Welford were represented by Cushman & Wakefield and Clarke Willmott. The quality of the development of this property, and the high standards of its management over the last decade, is what helped it stand out in the market.

“We undertook a very targeted marketing campaign, mindful of the need for discretion so as not to disturb existing residents and staff. We’re delighted to have identified an operator who will maintain the ethos of quality care and stability for the residents of the care home.”
