Maples Care Home

Maples Care Home is a 75-bed nursing home in Bexley, operated by Maples Care Home (Bexleyheath) Limited. It holds a CQC rating of Requires improvement, a CQC rating that narrows lender appetite and tends to mean tighter terms until it improves. For a buyer, operator or lender the numbers that matter are its 75 registered beds, its rating and the strength of the operator behind it. We arrange the finance to buy, refinance or develop a home of this kind.

Maples Care Home sits within a local market of 18 registered care homes and about 913 beds in Bexley. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.

What determines the value of Maples Care Home

A trading care home like Maples Care Home is valued as a going concern, on its stabilised trading profit (EBITDARM) capitalised at a market multiple, rather than as bricks and mortar. A specialist healthcare valuer prepares the figure, and it can sit well above or below a simple per-bed estimate depending on how the home trades. The per-bed guide above is a starting point, not a valuation.

• Occupancy: how full the home runs, and how quickly empty beds refill
• Fee mix: the balance of private, self-funded and local-authority residents
• CQC rating: Requires improvement here, a direct input to both value and lender appetite
• Clinical staffing: nurse cover, agency reliance and the wage bill
• The building: room sizes, the en-suite and single-room share, and any capital works needed
• Location and catchment: local demand, competition and the self-funder base around Bexley
