A Henry Stewart Briefing on ensuring sustainability in
the provision of long term nursing care

Increasing Nursing Home Values and Profits and providing Best-in-Class service through expansion of long term care for High Dependency Residents*
Sustainability is the objective

* Older people with dementia and other psychiatric conditions
* Brain damaged young not yet able to be cared for at home

This briefing delivers exactly what it promises – the business case and implications of increasing the numbers of high dependency residents while satisfying all the increasing demands for high quality care.

CLEAR, DIRECT, TO THE POINT, COMPREHENSIVE and SOUND

Briefings cover:
• The size of the market – the often hidden potential, the scale of the opportunity
• Guidance if entering the sector for the first time
• Understanding the context: what the resident, the resident’s family, central government and the Local Authority want and will pay for
• Negotiating terms with Local Authorities – what’s possible?
• The implications for revenue, profits and the capital value of the home
• The optimisation of residents ‘mix’ – a caring portfolio approach. The art of achieving operational efficiency and long term sustainability
• What can be charged – to whom and where?
• Older people and dementia – scale, opportunities, challenges, strategies and costs: addressing the different stages of dementia. Classification of dementia and the implications for charges and care costs
• Young, accident, brain damaged patients
• Implementing a phased business plan to expand into high dependency care while maximising revenue, controlling capital and revenue costs and delivering best possible care
• The 20 to 30 bed extension wing – costs of implementing, costs of operation (including staff costs), capital costs and investment value
• Identifying the design issues in new build and extensions and resolving them
• Funding expansion – building works and operations; sources and terms of finance
• The Planning Consent issues – what are they? How to resolve them speedily
• So, in financial terms, how much increased value and profits are possible?
• Benefits of Tax Relief

All with many real world case studies of actions taken, objectives achieved and mistakes (that could have been avoided) made – for big, small and medium sized operations alike.

For all operators, Local Authorities, agents, planners, funders, developers and their advisors.

Full documentation will be provided to all delegates and adequate time set aside for questions.
