Inside our care homes
Templeton Place
“Good care homes don’t just have residents in them that just continue to exist, good care homes allow people to continue to live and to live well.”
The UK care sector faces a significant challenge due to a shortage of quality care homes and an increasing ageing population.
To help address this, we’re investing in care homes that are fit for the future.
Templeton Place, one of our latest developments, is just one example of how institutional capital can help transform our care infrastructure.
