Oakland Care has completed the purchase of a 70-bed, sustainable care home development site in Fleet, Hampshire.
When completed, the new home will include a café bistro, hair salon, lounge and dining rooms, balcony and terraces, and extensive landscaped gardens. Oakland Care purchased the scheme – its 13th addition to a growing portfolio of care homes across the South East and London – from Frontier Estates.
With a target completion date of 2027, the new home will form part of Oakland Care’s strategy towards developing all electric-powered, net-zero, BREEAM accredited homes.
Oakland Care’s director of development Richard Dooley said: “We are delighted to acquire this well-located opportunity. Over the years we have become well-recognised for the outstanding care we deliver to our residents, and this site provides us with a great opportunity to support more people over the coming years as part of an expanding portfolio of home across the wider southeast area.
“The new home will also form part of our new strategy of developing all electric-powered, net zero homes which will be BREEAM accredited. This is a key strand of our ambitions as a care home provider who is committed to leading the way in our approach to combatting the climate crisis. It demonstrates a big step forward against our environmental strategy with sustainability not only championed by our team members, residents, and their friends and family, but placed within the very build and function of our care homes.”
