Nottinghamshire Care Group Expands Through New Acquisition

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE dementia specialist Church Farm Care has acquired Wren Hall Nursing Home, strengthening the independent care group’s ability to deliver exceptional care across the region.

Selston-based Wren Hall will add a further 54 beds to the Church Farm Care portfolio – joining the already four-strong group of homes based across Cotgrave, Radcliffe-on-Trent and West Bridgford.

Wren Hall’s former owner Anita Astle MBE – daughter of Doctor and Mrs Kesari who first built the home – will continue leading her team of 120 and working as registered manager.

Lucy Atkinson, director of Church Farm Care, said:
“Wren Hall has been achieving a high standard of care in Nottinghamshire for a long time, and we are honoured to now be adding our voice and expertise to this as the team becomes part of the Church Farm family. Wren Hall is known for its focus on family-run, person-centered, specialist care – something that really resonates with our own approach and reputation.”

The acquisition also sees Church Farm Care taking over Little Wrens Nursery and Preschool that sits on the same site.

Patrick Atkinson, director of Church Farm Care, said:
“This marks the start of an exciting period of expansion for us. Our goal has always been to grow sustainably while maintaining a high level of care across all our homes, and this acquisition allows us to do just that.”

“We will continue doing what we do best, as well as taking on the new challenge that comes with not only taking on an additional home but also a nursery and preschool. We look forward to combining the knowledge and experience of both teams to drive forward exceptional standards of specialist care.”

Anita said: “Deciding to pass the torch was an emotional moment for me and my family but I am confident that Patrick and Lucy share Wren Hall’s vision and values. Their commitment to maintaining Wren Hall as a leader of nursing care and innovation aligns perfectly with the culture we’ve built.”

“In the immediate future, I will be staying on as registered manager and look forward to working alongside the Church Farm Care team as this transition takes place.”
