NGA Care have concluded the sale of Willover Property Limited, the holding company for two Derby nursing homes, Stanley House and Abbeydale.
Owned and operated by the Shepperson family for nearly 50 years, the homes are both located on Duffield Road close to Derby city centre. Both currently hold a ‘Good’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and are registered for a total of 83 residents.
Stanley House opened in 1975, followed by Abbeydale in 1986. The transaction enables directors Mike and Nicky Shepperson to retire from the sector after decades of service to the local community.
Former director Mike Shepperson said: “It has been an honour and a privilege to care for so many wonderful residents and to work alongside a truly dedicated team. Abbeydale and Stanley House have always been about putting people first and I am confident that through the sales process with NGA Care, the homes are in excellent hands.”
The homes have been acquired by Iqbal and Perminder Sanghera, owners of the New Lodge Nursing Home in Mickleover, also acquired through NGA Care.
Iqbal Sanghera added: “It was a pleasure working with Nick on another successful transaction, the whole process from start to finish was well managed and professional. Stanley House and Abbeydale’s values, staff, and community ties will remain intact.
“The homes have been a cornerstone of Derby for five decades. My priority is to honour its heritage while ensuring seamless continuity in the exceptional care residents and families rely on.”
Nick Greaves, managing director of NGA Care, said: “Through a highly confidential and targeted marketing campaign, we generated strong interest and multiple bids on two fantastic care homes.
“It was an absolute pleasure to have acted on behalf of our clients to facilitate their well-deserved retirement from the sector.”
