A choice of lifestyles

• Each development has a range of communal facilities and a House Manager.

Assisted Living (Extra Care) Average age – 83

• CQC-registered management team on duty 24 hours a day.

In annual survey results from

the Home Builders Federation

we have a received double five-

star rating for our levels of

service and management for the

past seven years.

We are the only builder in our

category to have done so.

Providing peace of mind

On our Assisted Living developments we have partnered with Somerset Care Group, a large and hugely experienced not-for-profit care operation, to offer a range of personal care and support options with CQC registered staff.

We manage all of our own new

developments.

The benefits of retirement housing

Personal• Higher quality of life, increased independence

• Sense of security, safety & companionship

Health• 64% report improved health and wellbeing

• Reduced hospital admissions

• Cost effective access to personal care

• Each year a resident postpones moving into

care saves the state £28,080

Economy & Community• Each scheme brings £5m investment

• Employs up to 17 people per scheme

• Increased expenditure in the local economy

- 80% use shops almost daily

Environment & Planning• Effective reuse of urban, Brownfield sites

• Improved energy efficiency of homes

• Releases under-occupied properties back into

the local housing market.

Meeting a local need

It is important that local residents are able to stay close to

their hometown in later life, with the support they need from

their family and friends.

Almost half of our residents move from less than 5 miles away

Most residents free up a substantial family home with two thirds

moving from homes with three or more bedrooms.

5,000 purchases of McCarthy & Stone properties between 2007 and 2010 freed up family housing worth £1.1 billion back into local markets.

This has a knock on effect that stimulates the housing chain and ultimately benefits the first time buyer:

Distance moved into a McCarthy & Stone development

But supply isn’t

meeting demand...

*Note: information about year of construction is not available for approximately 5%

of schemes built for sale and 30% of schemes built for rent. The figures plotted above include adjustments to compensate for this and, therefore, are approximate only.

And our population is

ageing rapidly...

Issues and opportunities

• Ageing population

• Quality / quantity of historic provision

• Choice of housing options and tenures

• Planning – S106 / CIL

• Neighbourhood planning

• Housing needs assessment

• Partnerships?
