Hereford Voice Posted Tuesday at 15:42 Report Posted Tuesday at 15:42 Ashberry Healthcare, experienced boutique care home providers, have been announced as new owners of The Weir nursing home, Swainshill. The 34-bed home is a grade II listed Georgian mansion and National Trust property, set in the beautiful Weir Gardens, which will remain open to the public as usual. Ashberry Healthcare will continue to provide high-quality care for the home’s 34 residents, as all staff transfer over to their employment – meaning the home’s residents will continue to receive care from the familiar people they know and trust. The team at Ashberry Healthcare own two other local homes, Broomy Hill and Holmer Court, which has won several awards including this year’s Care Home of the Year at the Hereford Health and Social Care Awards. The move comes after David Kingham, previous owner of The Weir, is retiring after an impressive 30 years. Nigel Denny, Chief Executive Officer of Ashberry Healthcare, thanked David for his “impressive legacy”, saying “it’s a privilege to be able to continue the home’s heritage and build on the strong reputation of The Weir team. We wish David a very happy and well-deserved retirement”. Experts in community-style living, Ashberry Healthcare have an impressive track record of quality care which they will bring to The Weir. Across their eight care homes, they have an average score of 9.8/10 on independent review site carehome.co.uk – making them one of the top scoring care home groups in the UK. The team at Ashberry Healthcare are already building a packed activities calendar for residents, and plan to make the most of the beautiful gardens for those living at the home to enjoy. They pride themselves on balancing older people’s independence and enjoyment with exceptional standards across residential, nursing and dementia care in community-style living environments. Nigel Denny spoke about the plans for the home, saying: “We are really looking forward to getting to know everyone at The Weir more closely as we welcome them to our family of homes, and to strengthening our existing support for the Hereford community. At Ashberry Healthcare, our care is all about community living, and building a sense of place, friendship and belonging. Building on the hard work and connections of the whole team at The Weir, we’ll bring these values to the local community for people who seek the camaraderie, empowerment, and independence that a smaller home can offer.” Quote
