Gorselands Care Home in Clevedon, North Somerset, has been sold to Eqvitus Limited, a London-based group which recently acquired Nashley House in Weston-super-Mare.

Gorselands is registered for 30 residents requiring dementia care and occupies an imposing detached Victorian dwelling.

The home has been under the same family ownership for almost 38 years, with Lesley and Lawson Spiller selling the business to retire from the sector.

Following a confidential sales process with Rob Kinsman at Christie & Co, Gorselands has been sold to Adam Heroo of Eqvitus Limited.

Heroo said: “The acquisition of Gorselands Care Home was a natural fit following our recent purchase of Nashley House.

“We are delighted to be able to grow our business with such a quality care home as Gorselands and we look forward to working with the staffing team to ensure we continue the excellent standards of care that Mr and Mrs Spiller provided for so many years.”

Kirill Bingham of Clarke Willmott solicitors represented the seller.

Gorselands Care Home was sold for an undisclosed price.
