Geoff - Care home is an asset class that will have a continual demand. Watch out the new regs and the impact on the profits. I am exploring options to diversify from standard buy to let. Care homes is definitely on cards - don't mind partnering.

Thanks, I am still in the investigation stage with Care Homes and am developing my own Due Diligence / Essential Criteria check list for investing in Care Homes.... I feel this is important ground work. I have one buy to let property in England and will only be ready to invest again mid 2021. I am currently resident in Cape Town and will only travel to UK again next year.

Interesting - is there also potential for capital appreciation?

I am always a little concerned where the phrase is assured as opposed to insured. Does this mean that in extenuating circumstances you may not receive the income/capital appreciation promised?

My understanding is that the terms “insured” and “assured” are generally used interchangeably, but strictly speaking the term “insured” refers to the owner of the property insured or the person whose life is the subject of the contract of insurance, while “assured” refers to the person for whose benefit the insurance is granted.
Assured in essence means protected against discontinuance or change, i.e. "an assured tenancy" - guaranteed / certain / sure or secure.
But I am open to correction as to how it may apply to investments in Care Homes :).

There is an ongoing police investigation into care home deaths in Scotland. This kind of news is not good for the sector whether or not there is anything behind the allegations/investigation. I agree though, at some point care homes will become an interesting buy as the UK population continues to age.

Thank you for this info, I would be interested to know the outcome of this police investigation. I am however, waiting until the Covid and Brexit issue's are over and there is more clarity in the market, so am looking to invest mid 2021.

Hi @Geoff Spires

I stand corrected but I understood that assured returns are not guaranteed and may not be paid in "extenuating" circumstances.

Ok Thanks. I will remember to be wary of the “assured” phrase.

I have a sneaking suspicion we will see the emergence of some new large nursing home companies in the aftermath of the coronavirus. Many of the independent will be struggling at the moment and ripe for takeover. This is definitely a growth industry but it is one in which it has been difficult to make money in the past.

Nowadays, Cary at home is really important because we are all busy, and our estate is always going at the final place in our lives. We need to have where to phone or where to ask for help when we are in this situation when we need it. A year ago, it was evening, and I felt bad. I didn’t want to go to a doctor or ask for an ambulance, but my friend asked to help from https://homecareassistance.com/palm-beach. They gave me first aid and stayed with me until I started to feel better.
