Elvingston Development Limited, in partnership with Morrison’s Community Care Group
Morrison Community Care Group (MCCG) take pleasure in providing a masterplan review of the site in Elvingston, East Lothian. The review is focussed around retirement and care home accommodation, which is informed following a report prepared by BNP Paribas Real Estate.
The intention for the subjects is to create Scotland's first luxury retirement village that will attract residents who wish to live in an exceptional setting, which will provide everything they will need in one location, that they and their family can enjoy.
The masterplan review aims to set out a number of uses that will compliment each other minded to the intended residents and occupiers that will live within the high quality setting, however to be inclusive to the wider East Lothian area, additional uses have also been included to create an environment for the public to also enjoy.
MCCG in collaboration with our design team have fully reviewed the report prepared by BNP Paribas Real Estate and thereafter set out to create a masterplan that explores the potential for the site.
Morrison Community Care Group
Morrison Community Care Group ("MCCG") is a family owned care group led by Paul Sokhi. The Sokhi family bought their first care home, Abbotsford House Bearsden, in 1987 and since have expanded the group throughout the Central Belt of Scotland. They have successfully delivered new care facilities in Milngavie, Duntocher, Troon and Stirling. They are currently constructing a new care home in Dalgety Bay and have planning permission for new homes in Perth, Livingston and Bingley. The new facilities constructed so far have provided employment to over 300 local people
The family's ethos for over 30 years has been to provide high quality care homes within a community, homely setting. Each care home focuses on tailoring services to the needs of the individual (including nursing and dementia care), founded on individual care plans.
MCCG's approach was recognised on a national scale when Abbotsford House Care Home was awarded the best care home in the UK at the UK Caring awards in 2017. In 2019 MCCL was awarded the Best Community Care Provider in the world at the Global Healthcare awards in London, and more recently at the 2022 Scottish Property Awards they won Health Care Development of the Year for Roselea Court Care Home, Stirling.
