Former care home, The Heights, in Chesterfield, East Derbyshire, will re-open shortly after Christie & Co announced its sale to Good Day Care Homes, which owns two other homes in South Yorkshire.

This former care home comprises a 33-bedroom purpose-built property that was constructed in the 1990s, along with ample communal and back-of-house accommodation.

It is located in a residential area in Tupton, a village in North East Derbyshire, approximately 4.5 miles south of Chesterfield.

The home was previously registered for 36 residents and closed in November 2022.

Following a sales process with Sam Fazackerley at Christie & Co, it has been purchased by Good Day Care Homes.

Alexmon Baby, business development director at Good Day Care Homes, said: “We opened our first home, Jubilee Care Home, a 59-bed care home in Rotherham, in November 2019, and expanded further with the acquisition of Alexander Court, a 56-bed care home in Sheffield, in September 2023.

“With The Heights, we plan to refurbish the building and to re-open the home as a dedicated EMI residential/nursing facility within the next six months.

“Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding Good Day Care Homes into a large-scale care provider, delivering high-quality services across a broader portfolio.”

Fazackerley said the sale attracted a lot of interest from both regional and national care operators and local developers looking to acquire the site for alternative uses.

He added: “We look forward to the home being reopened as an EMI nursing facility, especially considering there is an ongoing need for this type of requirement across the country.”

The Heights Care Home was sold for an undisclosed price.
