Care home

Care homes that are fit for the future

Why invest in care homes?

There is an undersupply of quality care homes. At the same time, an ageing population is placing greater demands on the increasingly outdated care home stock.

Institutional capital is helping to build the infrastructure needed to support the elderly today, and in the decades to come.
Our sector expertise and relentless focus on quality is allowing us to create care homes fit for the future and target a resilient income profile for investors.

How we’re building care homes that are fit for the future

Michael Toft, Senior Fund Manager, discusses the ageing population and care system, and the role of investors in shaping the future.

Our approach to investing in care homes

Resident care is at the heart of our decision-making. We believe this delivers the best results for both residents and investors.

This mindset has helped us establish long-term relationships with best-in-class operators.

With 16 years of healthcare real estate experience, we have a portfolio of over 100 modern, purpose-built care homes, and have partnered with over 30 care home operators. Our commitment to resident care has been the driving force behind our success.


Rigorous management

Highly experienced team giving equal attention to returns, clinical considerations and responsible investment.


High standards of care

Strong governance, with an in-house Quality Assurance team to ensure the high standards are met.


Sustainable

Committed to net zero for new homes by
2030 and existing homes by 2040.

Explore our care homes

Our care homes are purpose-built, providing the required facilities to support elderly residents. Our Investment and Quality Assurance teams collaborate with developers and operator partners from the outset, reviewing plans to guarantee the best outcome for residents and to make sure our homes are fit for the future.
