Methodist Homes boosts portfolio on two fronts

Fresh from a corporate revamp (CCMN May 2011) elderly care provider Methodist Homes (formerly the MHA Care Group) has announced that both the opening of new homes and extension programmes at existing sites will help fuel expansion of the group. Two homes in Rotherham have been added to the provider’s portfolio: the 44-bed Beeches and 52-bed Sandygate, both of which provide standard residential care as well as specialist dementia-related support. The facilities were previously run on a leasehold basis from landlord WH Estates Group by an unnamed care provider which was taken into administration at the end of 2010. Acting on the instruction of administrators FRP Advisory, HPC marketed the properties with MHA securing them after a now-typically lengthy Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration process.
