What determines the value of Castleford Home for Older People

A trading care home like Castleford Home for Older People 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: Good here, a direct input to both value and lender appetite
• Staffing: care-hours per resident and agency reliance
• 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 Clitheroe
