A New Approach to Care Home Development
For decades, the UK care sector has been trying to adapt to meet the evolving demands of its residents. Currently, there are around 480,000 beds registered for elderly care across the UK, but many of these facilities were originally built in the 1960s and 1970s, an era with very different environmental and design expectations. These older homes often lack modern amenities, including en-suite bathrooms and private rooms, both of which are now essential for maintaining dignity, comfort, and independence in care.
We recognise the enormous need for modern, purpose-built facilities to replace outdated infrastructure. Our approach combines innovation and resident-focused design to deliver homes that meet today’s high standards. Our goal is to help prevent the looming bed shortages predicted to arise from both an ageing population and the inevitable closure of facilities that no longer meet acceptable standards.
Creating Homes That Serve Local Communities
One of our key priorities is to ensure each care development fits seamlessly into its community. We meticulously tailor our designs to address the specific needs of each region, factoring in the demographics, preferences, and expectations of local residents. With a team of highly experienced professionals, we conduct thorough due diligence on each project, guiding sites from concept through to fully planning approved developments. This level of attention enables us to bring developments to life that align with the community’s values in areas of the UK that are suffering from the largest shortfall in care beds.
Innovation in care home development
Our commitment to forward-thinking design allows us to bring new and much-needed ideas to the industry. We create partnerships with developers, operators, and investors who share our mission to make a positive impact. This collaborative approach enables us to deliver care homes that exceed expectations, catering to residents with a heightened focus on comfort, safety, and accessibility. From open communal spaces to private, comfortable rooms with en-suite facilities, we’re designing homes that enable residents to live with independence, dignity, and joy.
Why the Need for Modern Care Homes Is More Urgent Than Ever
As the population ages, it’s not just the quantity but the quality of care facilities that will determine the sector’s success. By 2030, many care homes built in the 20th century will face closure or repurposing due to their inability to meet modern standards. For residents who require specialised care, outdated facilities often fall short of expectations, creating a need for environments that provide better accommodations, privacy, and amenities. Without an increase in purpose-built, high-quality care facilities, the UK risks a severe shortfall in available beds. The demographic shift is such that by 2050 we anticipate a shortfall of more than 200,000 beds. At Muller Property Group, we are dedicated to bridging this gap with homes that reflect both the changing expectations of care and the growing needs of residents.
