Royal Naval Benevolent Trust drops anchor for Portsmouth home

The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust (RNBT) has completed the site acquisition for an under-development care home dedicated to veterans of the Portsmouth Naval Base.

The 66-bed care home in Portsmouth is co-developed by LNT Care Developments.

Permission for the scheme was granted by Portsmouth City Council in October, with preparations for construction having since been successfully completed.

The scheme is scheduled to be completed in late spring 2022.

The Royal Navy has given its full support for the development, which is to be named Admiral Jellicoe House after the founder of RNBT, and has presented the home with a badge taken from the Crest of a 1938 battleship which was to be named HMS Jellicoe.

Knight Frank advised RNBT on the acquisition and strategy for a new care home development site in Portsmouth.

That came after Knight Frank were instructed to source RNBT a suitable care home development site within the Portsmouth area, which led to the successful purchase of the current site.

“This is an exciting and socially impactful acquisition that will deliver state-of-the-art residential care for local naval veterans,” said Knight Frank healthcare associate Mandip Bhogal.
