Description

Following almost twenty months of talks and negotiations, DC Care specialist healthcare agents is pleased to announce the sale of Terrington Lodge, located near to Wisbech, to the Kings Lynn based care group ARMSCARE Ltd run by Mrs Veena Sehgal.

ARMSCARE is a local family run operation, headed by Mrs Veena Sehgal, which owns and runs Docking House in Docking, Summerville House in Heacham, Norfolk Lodge in Hunstanton and Laburnum Lodge in Littleport. The Homes are all managed under the supervision of Bernie Asbury, Operations Manager, who has a wealth of knowledge that relates to dementia care. Terrington Lodge will be managed by Debbie Ruskin, who has been at the Home for over 17 years, under the guidance of Clare Paget (Registered Manager) as well as Bernie.

ARMSCARE will over the course of the next few months be looking to make improvements in the numbers of staffing, dementia care systems, practices & procedures and to the fabric of the environment as a whole.

Commenting on behalf of DC Care, Andy Sandel who managed the sale through to completion said "We were instructed in March 2013 to find a purchaser for the home following the tragic death of the former owners Mr & Mrs Beeharry. It has been a difficult process and all credit must go to the loyal and caring staff at the home, we are all thankful of their efforts over the last couple of years. I believe that in ARMSCARE we have found a good quality local operator that will invest in the home and its staff which in turn will improve the environment for the residents."
