MORRISON Community Care Group and CCG have marked a milestone in their care home partnership after revealing that over 500 private bed spaces have now been handed over.

The companies have worked together since 2017 to deliver facilities designed to enhance the wellbeing and quality of life for people over the age of 65 who require residential, nursing, or dementia care services.

The 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, Glasgow.

The total number of care beds delivered by MCCG and CCG now stands at 543 over nine developments.

Greenways Care Home sees Morrison Community Care come full circle, having set up the firm’s 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 on development.

Located just off Anniesland Road, Greenways Care Home is a 58-bed development that regenerated surplus land adjacent to Yarrow Recreation Club, with the sale of the land securing the future of the community hub.

Paul Sokhi, MD 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.”

The care homes’ design follows a blueprint that is used for each project. Each bedroom has an ensuite, while integrated amenities include dining rooms, a cinema room, hair salon, visitors’ café, champagne bar, and landscaped grounds.

Each project is delivered using CCG’s multi-disciplined capability. From construction and manufacturing to flooring, utilities, and M&E services, the company utilises its in-house expertise.

David Wylie, MD 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.”
