Care UK Acquires The Hollies in Dursley: A New Era of Exceptional Care Services
A care home community in Gloucestershire, The Hollies in Dursley, has been acquired by Care UK. The community includes the Hollies Nursing Care Home, Holly Oak Dementia Care Home, and 11 independent living apartments known as The Woodlands Apartments. With a total of 104 rooms, the homes offer a range of care services for residents with various needs, including nursing, respite, end-of-life care, and dementia care.
Care UK, a renowned care provider with over 40 years of experience, operates 165 homes across England, Scotland, and Wales. Known for its award-winning care services, Care UK has the highest care quality rating among large providers in the country. The acquisition of The Hollies marks a new chapter for the community following the retirement of its former owners, Jonathan and Kaye Hawkins, who managed the sites for 17 years.
The transaction was facilitated by RSM UK, with corporate finance director Stephanie Wilson leading the advisory team. The sale of The Hollies represents a significant milestone for Jonathan and Kaye Hawkins, who expressed gratitude for RSM's support throughout the process. The seamless transition to Care UK ensures that the dedicated teams at The Hollies can continue delivering high standards of care to residents in the local community.
As Care UK takes over the management of The Hollies, the community is poised to benefit from the company's expertise and resources in the care sector. The acquisition reflects Care UK's commitment to expanding its portfolio of homes and enhancing the quality of care services offered to residents. The former managing director of The Hollies, Jonathan Hawkins, acknowledges the complexity of the deal but credits RSM's experience and guidance for facilitating a successful sale. The collaboration between all parties involved sets the stage for a positive future for The Hollies under Care UK's ownership.
