Cornerstone Healthcare Group runs two specialist nursing homes caring for people with complex neurological, physical and mental health needs associated with challenging behaviours and is looking to grow through acquisitions.

Jens will take over from Geoff Hiskett, who is retiring after seeing through the initial formation of the group and the acquisition of its first two homes.

Group CEO, Johann van Zyl added: “I’d like to thank Geoff for all his hard work over the last few years and welcome Jens to Cornerstone. Jens will play a vital role in the integration of the financial systems of our acquisitions into Cornerstone’s financial model whilst Geoff will remain with the company on a consultancy basis.

“We are all very pleased to be working with Jens and our equity investors Ignite Growth at this exciting phase of our growth.”
