Dementia and complex care specialist provider Fortava has acquired three Nottinghamshire homes, taking its total to five since it launched with the acquisition of two 50-bed Peterborough facilities last year.
Two of the homes – 60-bed Long Eaton View and 79-bed Stapleford View have not yet been inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), while 83-bed Wilton View facility received an outstanding CQC rating last year.
Fortava founders, care specialist Johann van Zyl and healthcare finance expert Jamie Stuart, said in a statement that the firm’s approach is ‘rooted in cognitive stimulation therapy - a research-based method of treatment and care aimed at improving well-being and potentially slowing the progression of dementia’.
The firm is backed by private equity company Downing, which said in a statement that the newly acquired Nottingham homes ‘are modern, purpose-built homes designed to support residents with complex dementia needs’, which will be ‘integrated into Fortava’s operating model focusing on therapeutic environments, advanced workforce training, and clinically informed cognitive stimulation programmes designed to enhance quality of life and support cognitive wellbeing’.
