A specialist dementia care provider has added to its portfolio with the acquisition of another care home.

The Littlestone-based Belmont Healthcare Group has purchased the Haslington Care Home in Greenhithe, near Dartford.

Now renamed Haslington Lodge, it will join the company's other sites across Kent and Sussex.

Adam Hutchison, managing director of Belmont, said: “This is our second acquisition in nine months, the first being Edendale Lodge in East Sussex.

"Haslington care home was identified as the perfect fit for Belmont Healthcare Group and we very much look forward to continuing to provide the very best care and employment opportunities as we develop our ethos of care, which is all about home from home care with dignity and choice.”

Belmont Healthcare offers multiple forms of long, short, respite or day care for those in need, specialising in dementia, Parkinson’s and specialist elderly support.
