Nottinghamshire care home sold to Atikos Care
Atikos Care completes its first acquisition with Edward House Care Home in Eastwood
Atikos Care has completed the acquisition of Edward House Care Home on Nottingham Road in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire. Edward House is the Group's first care home, and the first of several planned over the coming years as it builds a group of quality care homes across the UK.
Edward House has served the Eastwood community for many years, and the Group's focus is on building on that legacy. The Group's priorities are clear: looking after the staff who make the home what it is, investing in strong processes and systems, and continually raising the quality of care and its delivery, something the sector needs now more than ever.
The 40-bed home continues to operate as normal, with residents supported by the existing care team. The Group's directors bring extensive experience in the care sector, including the operations, finance and management.
Belal Atassi, Managing Director of Atikos Care, said:
“Edward House is a home with a real legacy in its community, and our job is to build on it, not change what makes it special. That starts with the staff. They are the heart of the home, and our first priority is supporting them, investing in their development and giving them the right systems and tools to do what they do best: care for our residents.”
Nadim Kapadia, Board Member and Director of Atikos Care, said:
“The care sector needs committed, passionate, long-term owners who care about delivering high-quality care, and that is what we are focused on. Edward House is our first step and over the coming years, we intend to grow a group of homes where strong operations, proper investment and good governance translate into better care for residents and a better place to work for staff.”
Steve Winter, Operations Director and Nominated Individual at Atikos Care, said:
“Residents, families and colleagues are at the heart of everything we do. My focus is on continuity of care from day one, strengthening the processes and systems that support the team, and making sure Edward House keeps delivering care of the standard every resident deserves.”
