You Can Grow your Care Home Capacity – Even if you Thought it Wasn’t Possible

There can’t be many sectors that offer the same prospect for long term growth as care homes. And yet, many care home owners continue to miss opportunities to bring additional capacity on stream to meet the growing demand.

Arguments that stop care home owners investing in additional space include the following:

• It would be too difficult to expand on our existing site.
• The building work would be too disruptive for existing residents.
• It’s hard to get exactly the building we want.
• The building might not turn out how we envisaged it.
• There’s too much financial risk if costs or timings overrun.

These arguments are probably shaped by the experience of previous building projects. But are they valid if we are no longer constrained by traditional methods of construction?

With panelised offsite construction the building is delivered as a flexible kit of parts. It is ideal for sites with difficult or restricted access, for extensions and for building projects close to existing facilities.

The hybrid system of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) and precast concrete pioneered by Innovaré allows the entire structure: walls, foundations, floors and roofs to be manufactured offsite. The components are delivered as required and at a time that causes least disturbance. The structure is then assembled by a small team without the noise, dust and mess created on a traditional building site.

Design Flexibility

We know from working with care home providers that building requirements are often specialised and specific. Our in-house design team works very closely with clients and architects. We ensure that requirements are converted into workable designs that can be built exactly as envisaged without any compromises or late design changes.

Keeping the entire process in house, from design and manufacture to installation, ensures both quality and timing. It also offers clients a single point of contact and accountability for their project.  This tightly integrated process delivers the best possible guarantee that your building or extension will perform as specified and will be within budget.

Care home owners can also be confident that the project will be completed sooner than with a traditional build; bringing forward revenue and a return on the investment.

You might have thought that expanding your care home capacity isn’t possible. Maybe it’s time to take another look. Call the Innovaré team and we’ll be happy to talk through your options.
