Commercial Financial Expert Services to advise on the feasibility of proposed market opportunity to operate a Care Home in Hereford.

The council owns the freehold building currently known as Hillside Rehabilitation Centre situated on Pentwyn Avenue, Hereford HR2 7LB, approximately one mile from the city centre between the Ross Road and Belmont Road. Until recently the centre has been operated by Wye Valley NHS Trust (WVT) as a community hospital and currently has 22 ensuite bedrooms with three day rooms, courtyards and onsite parking. The council are seeking to scope nursing home provision at Hillside that meets the need of an ageing population particularly those with complex Elderly Mental Illness (EMI). The provision must deliver a high quality of care and is financially sustainable. The intention is to maximise the capacity for the facility to provide a technically advanced service that supports independence. As part of this project the council is seeking suitably qualified providers to undertake a commercial feasibility study to consider the commercial implications of the project and provide ongoing expert commercial advice.
