2014 - a year of growth and development

Happy New Year! 2013 was a wonderful year for MHA. We celebrated our Platinum Anniversary and opened a number of new services for older people,  including  the first phase of our retirement village, The Fairways in Chippenham,  Victoria Court in Headingley, Leeds, Adlington House in Stockport and additional apartments at Edina Court, Wisbech.

Throughout 2014, we will continue to expand our services to reach as many older people as we can. We will start work on our next retirement village, Mickle Hill, in Pickering, which got the green light last year. These 90 apartments and 78 bungalows will be served by a restaurant, coffee shop and hairdressing and beauty salons. We also have plans for a new retirement village in Corsham, Wiltshire, where 190 apartments will be served by a range of care options and facilities such as a swimming pool and village centre. In addition, we will begin building 50 new assisted living apartments in Peterborough, and 37 new assisted living apartments in Swindon  and complete   The Fairways with 75 apartments and a health and fitness spa. Work will be completed on our third partnership development with Gladman providing 60 apartments  in Wolstanton whilst building work will begin on the fourth in Portishead.   

It’s important to remember that all this work is not being done for profit. MHA is a charity. We create new services to provide quality and choice for as many older people as possible, and all our income is reinvested into providing services now and into the future.

Here’s to 2014!
