Oakland Care Completes Purchase On 70-Bedroom Care Home Scheme In Fleet

Care home provider, Oakland Care, have completed the purchase of a 70-bedroom, sustainable, care home development site in Fleet, Hampshire.

Planning consent has been granted for the care home scheme, which has been designed to offer residents fully equipped accommodation and amenities such as a café bistro, hair salon, lounge and dining rooms, balcony and terraces, alongside extensive landscape gardens.

As part of Oakland Care’s continued strategic growth as a care home provider it has now finalised the purchase of the site from Frontier Estates Ltd, with the development becoming the 13th addition to the business’ growing portfolio of care homes across the South East and London.

With work set to commence shortly towards a target completion date of 2027, the new home will also form part of Oakland Care’s strategy towards developing all electric-powered, net-zero homes which will be BREEAM accredited – the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for buildings and organisations.

This announcement by Oakland Care is just the latest net-zero home to come forward, with construction on its 11th and 12th care home in Harpenden and Bracknell commencing in the last several months.

Richard Dooley, Director of Development of Oakland Care, 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.”
