Sanders Senior Living has signed a deal for the development of a new, future-proofed care home in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
The new home will comprise 60 bedrooms, each with an en suite wet room. Onsite facilities will include a hair salon, dementia café, and communal lounges. Leading global property adviser Knight Frank advised Sanders Senior Living on the acquisition.
Located a fifteen-minute walk from Melton Mowbray’s train station, Sanders Senior Living promises good-quality, inclusive, and sustainable design. With planning permission already granted, construction on the former Ford car sales site is due to begin in June.
Tom Sanders, estates director at Sanders Senior Living, said: “We are pleased to have received the guidance and expertise of Knight Frank on this strategic acquisition in Melton Mowbray. We have worked with Knight Frank on previous Sanders Senior Living developments, including our Worcester site, The Belmont. As such, our already established and existing partnership with Knight Frank gives me the upmost confidence that we will see great success in our new development. The Group’s invaluable expertise and knowledge ensures that we will be meeting the needs of Melton Mowbray’s community in providing professional care, something, at Sanders Senior Living, we pride ourselves on.”
Mandip Bhogal, healthcare associate at Knight Frank, added: “We are proud to have supported Sanders Senior Living in this strategic acquisition and development opportunity which will provide a premium care home for the local Melton Mowbray community.
“The demand for best-in-class care properties is only set to increase as the population continues to age. In addition to providing a significant facility locally, this development is also providing much-needed stock of fit-for-purpose, future-proofed, purpose-built care facilities with sustainability and a focus on residents’ experience at the heart of the design and development process.”
