Impressive Durham care home sold

West Lodge Care Home is a family-run residential care facility that specialises in the provision of dignified care and support for the elderly whilst promoting independence. This ‘Good’ rated care home is registered for up to 60 residents and occupies a 2008 purpose-built property located just off Peases Lane in Billy Row, a village on the outskirts of Crook in County Durham.

The home has been owned by the Higginbotham family since 1989 and was brought to market due to their desire to retire.

Following a confidential sales process with Hayley Hughes and Julie Kitson at Christie & Co, it has been sold to The Prestige Group, which owns nine other homes across the North East.

A spokesperson at The Prestige Group comments, “We’re delighted to complete the acquisition of West Lodge Care Home in Durham. West Lodge is an excellent fit with Prestige Care Group and, in many ways, mirrors our own values. We’re very excited to build on the excellent reputation that West Lodge already has and to further support its future growth and development as a fantastic service for the local communities. As an operator, we have gradually been expanding across the North East, and we’ll be making some further exciting announcements in the coming weeks on that note.”

Hayley Hughes, Associate Director – Care at Christie & Co, comments, “West Lodge is a fine example of a quality care home, not only the fresh and clean design of the building, but by the local reputation for the delivery of care being provided. Julie and I wish the whole family all the very best for the future and look forward to assisting The Prestige Care Group with future acquisitions.”

West Lodge Care Home was sold for an undisclosed price.
