Rising occupancy levels of personal care services for elderly people were behind the trend, with the elderly care sector seeing occupancy rates of 91.0% or higher for all types of provision in H1 2016. Average weekly fees were also up for the [personal care](https://www.financedigest.com/cosmetic-tubes-market-will-register-4-6-cagr-as-application-grows-in-personal-care-products-packaging.html "Cosmetic Tubes Market will Register 4.6% CAGR as Application Grows in Personal Care Products Packaging") sector, rising to £536 per week in H1 2016 from £526 per week in H2 2015. At the same time, payroll costs fell from 51.0% of total revenue in H2 2015 to 50.7% in H1 2016 and non-payroll costs dropped from 17.1% to 17.0%. **Jean Liggett, Founder and Managing Director** of [**Properties of the World**](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001s2dMBH12mOPjE8wAlNEkeu4keLFqCM9CCVqSXjzNUmIyd0xellu8XtkgAhro-WVblSiRY-wESUyw4IirtEzvIoYprp-775VvDChMaaZsE4esI-SE80SfFiK00jJLADv4Q8IYf-gxU7Y6OR8RCw075PSFwSJkyodVLpRSXKbXjweoU5i0Eyuv3sP4i56P6Ilo&c=vNqeVWSyxXU2SFGfa8kidatWxWj7WUyRJC1EeM08vw9ZuMVF_NY-jQ==&ch=evoDk8r_qOWVt1DYAMYtgwUK87n7GzZKPg4KBbNR2D-YlhepcVcXng==), comments, The personal care sector is attracting keen interest from investors thanks to its long-term stability and excellent [future prospects](https://www.financedigest.com/interesterified-cbe-market-growth-future-prospects-and-competitive-analysis-2022-to-2032.html "Interesterified CBE Market Growth, Future Prospects And Competitive Analysis 2022 to 2032"). The UK has an ageing population and thus healthcare properties are [becoming an increasingly](https://www.financedigest.com/why-are-pay-stubs-becoming-increasingly-essential.html "Why Are Pay Stubs Becoming Increasingly Essential") popular asset class. As the Colliers [Healthcare Market](https://www.financedigest.com/the-uk-private-healthcare-market-is-expected-to-witness-an-escalation-going-forward.html "The UK Private Healthcare Market is expected to witness an escalation going forward") Review points out, the statistical stability of such investments is incredibly appealing. The [industry is growing and adapting to the changing needs](https://www.financedigest.com/a-mindset-change-is-needed-in-the-financial-services-industry.html "A mindset change is needed in the financial services industry") of the population and investors are in a position to take full advantage of the new breed of provision that is coming online. [Wagon’s Way](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001s2dMBH12mOPjE8wAlNEkeu4keLFqCM9CCVqSXjzNUmIyd0xellu8XpViM1etdGsYeLv_lZ2HgZsq272BzkDjUDWYc76m-MouaUmPnIy_jAPHFY_JOM4Pe1mPuOyxJklw0Hzb17SGqYz799SNRhMYr3ET7vDx4RON9QeBLqhmggYW8XFMumjHlH2AD6v4IyTqrf7pBrDnjlqW5cdPHP4hzYGFJpkNVL5LpAOhmw1M3ZIKmz_DWJQiM6F0tTpnqQeRKpm_xn3Est3r4t0g3qPxl5GRRiUaMvkugkTCL854gW4Y0Abt5fhKs5JEFQMJd6FNEnwoqfmqTlBUx62kjA-ZHeOGzgwNMCA3x1UQOnRjmL8xCHQgM5_la18-sQ45z1XBSAdSEFgYeyBwz0U5j-bd3A==&c=vNqeVWSyxXU2SFGfa8kidatWxWj7WUyRJC1EeM08vw9ZuMVF_NY-jQ==&ch=evoDk8r_qOWVt1DYAMYtgwUK87n7GzZKPg4KBbNR2D-YlhepcVcXng==) near Sunderland, which is available for investment from £58,500, is representative of this new style of elderly care provision. The 58 bed, high quality, nursing and dementia specific care [home](https://www.financedigest.com/home-care-chemicals-market-is-expected-to-expand-at-a-cagr-close-to-5-over-the-assessment-period-of-2021-and-2031.html "Home Care Chemicals Market is expected to expand at a CAGR close to 5% over the assessment period of 2021 and 2031") is the latest offering from a developer that is meeting and exceeding Care Quality Commission (CQC) requirements across its extensive provision. Already open and operational, Wagon’s Way provides a modern twist on vintage décor, along with a host of touches designed to make life easier and happier for residents, such as cherished photographs on key boxes by bedroom doors rather than impersonal (and easily forgettable) numbers. The dual appeal to [investors in developments](https://www.financedigest.com/southampton-development-continues-to-excite-local-investors.html "SOUTHAMPTON DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO EXCITE LOCAL INVESTORS") such as Wagon’s Way lies in the profitability of the investment (circa 8% NET rental returns for 25 years) and in the ethical considerations. The innovative [investment model](https://www.financedigest.com/the-10-year-model-and-beyond-why-you-should-take-a-long-term-outlook-to-investment-strategy.html "The 10-year model and beyond – why you should take a long-term outlook to investment strategy") means that everyone wins: the investor, the residents, their families, the community, the care professionals and the CQC. It’s [investment that really](https://www.financedigest.com/community-giving-an-investment-that-really-matters.html "Community Giving: An Investment That Really Matters") does make a difference. While the impact of the UK’s Brexit vote is still very fresh, the Healthcare [Market](https://www.financedigest.com/digital-dissertation-to-drive-the-augmented-reality-healthcare-market.html "Digital dissertation to drive the Augmented Reality Healthcare Market") Review certainly points to healthcare investments standing up well, particularly when compared with other sectors. The report concludes that, “the long-income prospect and underlying stability of demand remain intact.” As the report observes, the UK’s political maneuverings do not affect the infrastructure required to meet the needs of its ageing population, and therein lies the final piece of the puzzle, making [healthcare sector](https://www.financedigest.com/with-a-growing-load-on-the-healthcare-sector-and-consequently-on-the-healthcare-practitioners.html "With a growing load on the healthcare sector and consequently on the healthcare practitioners") investments one of the most attractive asset classes over the longer term. --- This blog is powered by Superblog.
