Maria Mallaband care group invests £80 million towards new development programme

Maria Mallaband Care Group (MMCG) has confirmed it is committing more than £80m to develop nine new care homes, as part of an ongoing build programme over the next three to four years.

Last year, the group who are based in Leeds, opened Windsor Court, which opened in Malvern in July 2021 at a cost of £8 million, including the purchase of the land and the build.

Work is also underway to build a £9.5m care home in the Lace Hill area of Buckingham, creating a 62-bed property and scope for creating new job roles for people in the community.

Chris Womack, chief business development officer said: “We understand that choosing a care home can be a difficult decision for many. That’s why the investment that MMCG is making in the development of new homes is highly focused on creating fantastic spaces where people really want to spend their time. We are committed to delivering service offerings that push the boundaries in the provision of care.

“By ensuring a consistent approach through the new builds programme and adopting new thinking on each one of our new homes and the needs of the community, MMCG can deliver high-quality care to even more individuals across the UK.”

Each home will include its own cafes and bistros, salons, cinema rooms.

Commissioning and operations will be overseen by Daniel Turner-Naylor who has been promoted to operations director of new builds after joining MMCG as regional director for Yorkshire in January 2021.

Mr Turner-Naylor said: “I want to ensure that all of our new builds are designed with superior care at the heart, united with five-star facilities. We want to provide not only the best physical environment for those living in our homes, but also offer outstanding care that helps them feel reassured, connected and empowered.”

With each new build, MMCG is also creating a number of new jobs in their local area, in some cases, this will result in up to 100 jobs for local people in the vicinity of each home.

MMCG also recognises the importance of its role within the local community, so have introduced a community liaison role to ensure their homes engage in local events and build long-term relationships with local charities and organisations.
