Lovett Care is developing a purpose-built care home in Northern Moor, Manchester, offering nursing and dementia care, and treatments for other mental health conditions.

The home will comprise 59 en suite rooms, lounge and dining facilities, a hair and beauty salon, a café and activity room.

OakNorth Bank provided a loan for the development.

Keith Crockett, chief executive of Lovett Care, said: “This is a further milestone in our long-term growth strategy and consistent with our commitment to deliver the best-quality care in attractive market locations.”

Dale Cowdell, director of debt finance at OakNorth, added: “We were delighted to once again support this well-regarded care home operator. With those aged 65-plus in both England and Wales set for a substantial increase over the next decade, this further highlights the importance of building new sites at locations across the UK. With a robust expansion strategy, the upcoming site will be a valuable addition to the community, enhancing Lovett Care’s overall success.”

Lovett Care offers residential, nursing and dementia care across England and Wales. It has nine care homes and provides more than 500 beds.
