Care homes
Health and social care is a growing sector as the UK population continues to age and residential care is set to adapt to the higher expectations of future self-funded residents. Participating in this evolution is essential for those in the sector to thrive, whether they are developers, contractors, funders or operators.
Key Contacts
Many of our clients in this sector seek the advice of our commercial property team in connection with the acquisition and funding of land for development, or existing buildings and facilities for adaptation.
Amongst the care homes sector’s challenges are balancing high quality staffing and service provision with affordability to residents and profitability to the owner/operator. These call for solutions at all levels and we have been specialising in structuring care home developments, particularly retirement villages, to focus on profitability and the changing expectations of care for the elderly in decades to come.
We also help care home operators with employment issues whether this is in terms of advising on employment contracts or in relation to employment disputes.
There are also a number of specialist advisers at Seddons who are able to help elderly clients and their families put their affairs in orders with the appropriate arrangements for wills, trusts and probate.
