Stepping Stones Home & Care, a Maarn, the Netherlands-based elderly care provider, has received a “significant” minority investment from Gilde Healthcare Services, a growth capital fund specialised in Healthcare Services.
The proceeds from the investment, whose amount remained undisclosed, will be used to fund further growth of the company.
Stepping Stones operates a chain of nursing homes providing care for elderly with Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions that need continuous support.
Commenting on the transaction, Stepping Stones founding managers Arthur Scherpenzeel and Christiaan Sap said: “This investment not only enables us to expand the number of locations but we will also benefit from Gilde’s hands-on approach and healthcare expertise”.
