We have many years’ experience working on the appraisal and improvement of existing retirement living properties and designing and developing new facilities.

Our teams are sensitive to the expectations and design requirements of living arrangements for older people. Having worked on multiple public and private sector projects, we recognise the paramount need to provide a welcoming, attractive, safe and comfortable environment for residents.

We offer a comprehensive, multidiscipline service planning, designing and delivering new projects and developing new facilities. We’re also experienced in supporting the redevelopment or remodelling of sites as well as refurbishment projects.

Retirement living schemes, including some categorised supported and sheltered accommodation, can present challenges due to the specific nature of the facilities and the high levels of turnover.

We offer a comprehensive appraisal system for retirement living properties that includes:

• Stock condition surveys
• Suitability appraisals and ranking (including HAPPI assessments)
• DDA and safe-site audits
• Options appraisal
• Assessment of local facilities
• Modern facilities
• Care facilities and support requirements
• Needs and gap analysis
• Extension and/or remodelling potential
• Alternative site use
• Full design services and development management
