Washington Grange

Washington Grange is a 41-bed residential care home in Washington, operated by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. It holds a CQC rating of Good, a solid CQC rating that supports mainstream lending appetite.

We arrange the finance to buy, refinance or develop a home of this kind.

Washington Grange sits within a local market of 6 registered care homes and about 315 beds in Washington. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.

What determines the value of Washington Grange

A trading care home like Washington Grange 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 Washington
