In a significant move to bolster its presence in the care sector, Renaissance Care has officially acquired Cranford House, a care home located on Cranford Road in Aberdeen. This acquisition marks the group’s ninth facility in the north and north-east regions of Scotland, adding to its existing portfolio of five other care homes in Aberdeen, including Cowdray Club, Jesmond, Persley Castle, Torry, and Riverside.

Addressing past concerns and improving care standards

The acquisition comes on the heels of a 2023 Care Inspectorate report that raised concerns about the quality of care at Cranford House, describing it as “weak.” Family members of residents had voiced their frustrations over what they deemed “unacceptable” treatment.

However, a subsequent report released in March 2024 indicated a marked improvement in both staff quality and resident care, suggesting that Renaissance Care is committed to addressing these issues.

Commitment to compassionate, person-centred care

Louise Barnett, managing director of Renaissance Care, expressed her enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating that it aligns perfectly with the organization’s mission to provide compassionate, person-centred care. Barnett emphasized the importance of the dedicated staff at Cranford House, noting that their exceptional efforts contribute significantly to the well-being and experiences of the residents. She stated, “Through the Renaissance acquisition, we look forward to being able to support them to continue to do that.”

Future plans and community connections

Despite the challenging landscape of the social care sector, Renaissance Care is determined to expand its portfolio of quality care homes. The group has committed to retaining all current staff members at Cranford House, ensuring continuity in care and support for residents. The home has been recognized for its personalized approach to resident well-being and its strong ties to the local community, which Renaissance aims to maintain and enhance.

As part of the acquisition, Renaissance Care will provide management support and centralized services to Cranford House, allowing for an increased focus on resident care. This support is expected to enable the home to uphold the high standards of care that families and the local community have come to expect.

In summary, Renaissance Care’s acquisition of Cranford House represents a proactive step towards improving care quality and ensuring that residents receive the compassionate support they deserve. With a focus on enhancing the home’s reputation and fostering a positive environment for both staff and residents, Renaissance Care is poised to make a meaningful impact in the Aberdeen care sector.
