Britain’s third-largest care group is to embark on a £100 million five-year investment programme in its UK homes portfolio.
HC-ONE, which was founded in 2011 and took on the running of around a third of the estate of collapsed care group Southern Cross, said the upgrade programme is set to begin in April.
It added that the company works with specialist health and social care interior designers to provide the best possible environment for its thousands of residents.
The firm which was bought over in a £477m deal by Formation Capital, Safanad and Court Cavendish in November operates more than 30 former Southern Cross homes in Scotland, including properties in Dundee, Angus, Perthshire and across Fife.
HC-ONE said residents would be actively involved in the upgrade programme
Dr Chai Patel, chairman and acting chief executive, said: “We are now in a position to take the next important step in our journey on the road to delivering the kindest care.
“This is a major and significant investment that will upgrade our homes to the next level, creating the best care experience in our sector.”
