An experienced care sector professional has realised a long-held ambition to own and lead her own care home business following the acquisition of Tŷ Pentwyn Care Home in Treorchy, supported by a seven-figure loan from the Development Bank of Wales.
The funding, provided through the Wales Flexible Investment Fund, has enabled Ati2ude Care Ltd, led by Anchumol Peter, to acquire the long-established residential and nursing care home.
Located in the heart of Treorchy, Tŷ Pentwyn provides residential and dementia nursing care for up to 35 residents. The home has served the local community for more than a century and employs an established team of 48 care professionals who will remain in place following the change of ownership.
The home enjoys occupancy levels of more than 90 per cent. It was most recently inspected by Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) in 2023, receiving positive feedback.
For Anchumol, who has spent more than a decade working in the care sector, the acquisition marks the fulfilment of a long-standing career goal. She is a qualified nurse and former manager of Danygraig Nursing Home in Newport, and brings extensive operational and leadership experience to her new role.
Anchumol Peter, co-owner of Ati2ude Care Ltd, said:
“This has been a long-term dream for me. I have worked in the care sector for many years and understand both the challenges and rewards that come with providing high-quality care. Owning and leading a care home has always been an ambition sitting at the back of my mind, so this is a real dream come true.
“Tŷ Pentwyn is a beautiful home with more than 100 years of history behind it and a strong reputation within the local community. What stood out to me was the warmth of the home, the commitment of the staff and the opportunity to build on the excellent foundations already in place.
“I’m grateful that the Development Bank could see the potential in this opportunity. Their support has allowed us to take the next step and secure the future of a much-valued care home that plays an important role in the lives of residents and their families.”
Clare Sullivan, Regional Manager for New Investments at the Development Bank of Wales, said:
“Care homes provide an essential service to communities across Wales and make a significant contribution to the economy. It is therefore important that they continue to thrive and remain rooted in their local communities.
“Anchumol brings extensive sector knowledge, strong operational expertise and a clear commitment to delivering high-quality care. We’re pleased to have supported the acquisition of Tŷ Pentwyn and to help ensure the home can continue serving residents and families across the Treorchy area for years to come.”
