Pioneering Care Home Partnership Delivers Over 500 Beds

Morrison Community Care Group (MCCG) and CCG (Scotland)’s pioneering care home partnership has reached a new milestone, with over 500 private bed spaces for the elderly now handed over, following the successful completion of two developments in late 2025.

The companies have worked together since 2017, taking forward often small, challenging, and underutilised sites, and transforming them into modern facilities designed to enhance the wellbeing and quality of life for people over the age of sixty-five who require residential, nursing or dementia care services.

This long-standing partnership saw two official site starts in 2025, as well as three handovers, beginning with Glencorse Care Home in Penicuik last November, followed by Kingfisher Care Home in Perth on the site of the former Hillside Hospital, and Greenways Care Home in Anniesland during December.

With these handovers, the total number of care beds delivered by MCCG and CCG now stands at 543 over nine developments and across the central belt of Scotland.

Greenways Care Home sees Morrison Community Care come full circle, having set up their first care home venture in Anniesland in the late 1980s.

The family-run business operated several care homes over a 30-year period but has recently focused solely on development, growing into one of the UK’s preeminent care home developers and expanding its reach across the British Isles and Ireland.

Paul Sokhi, Managing Director of Morrison Community Care, said: “To have created over 500 beds in a nine-year period is a hugely significant achievement, but to have done so during a time when Scotland has faced considerable economic, health and social challenges, as well as the impact of a global pandemic, makes it even more remarkable.

“I give thanks to CCG for their continued support, as well as the MCCG team and our much-valued design team partners, whose combined expertise has transformed overlooked brownfield sites into modern facilities that offer best-in-class care.

“More must be done to help alleviate the pressure on our NHS and address our ageing population, but I am extremely proud of what we have achieved thus far and look forward to continuing our work in the months and years ahead.”

Greenways Care Home is an example of how localised knowledge and clever design has led to the delivery of much-needed bed spaces with growing demand for care services.

Located just off Anniesland Road, the 58-bed development has regenerated surplus land adjacent to Yarrow Recreation Club, with the sale of the land securing the future of the much-loved community hub.

Up to 100 jobs will also be created and accessible to community members.

The care homes’ design follows a blueprint that is used for each project. Each bedroom has an ensuite, and there is a wide range of integrated amenities available to residents, such as dining rooms, cinema room, hair salon, and a visitors’ café, as well as a champagne bar and landscaped grounds.

The integration of 24/7 nursing facilities support dignity, wellbeing and long-term care needs, while intelligent design mitigates the risk of infections and any future pandemics.

Care homes remain a key area of specialism for CCG, with each project delivered using the firm’s multi-disciplined expertise.

From construction and manufacturing, to flooring, utilities, and M&E services, the company call upon in-house expertise to drive quality standards and efficiencies at every stage of the delivery process.

David Wylie, Managing Director of CCG (Scotland), added: “These latest handovers mark an important milestone for both CCG and Morrison Community Care Group, with Greenways Care Home in Anniesland standing out as a particularly meaningful project.

“Despite the highly constrained site, early design and construction collaboration, together with our advanced construction and manufacturing methods and in-house services, helped streamline onsite processes while ensuring quality, speed, and delivery on time and on budget.”

“We’re proud of what has been achieved so far and look forward to continuing our work together to support Scotland’s growing care needs.”

CCG work alongside a dedicated design team that includes architects Holmes Miller; engineers Cowal Design; M&E principal designers Design Me; and CRGP Surveyors.
