Research Methodology


THIS IS THE 23RD IN A REGULAR SERIES OF RESEARCH PAPERS WHICH PROVIDE AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE HEALTHCARE PROPERTY AND BUSINESS SECTOR, FOCUSING ON LONG-TERM PERSONAL CARE AND NURSING CARE FOR BOTH THE ELDERLY AND SPECIALIST MARKETS. COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL HAS REPORTED PERFORMANCE KPIS IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR SINCE 2002.


This research is based on data drawn from both formal accounts and unaudited management accounts submitted to support valuations, due diligence, consultancy and transactional work. The data is treated confidentially and there are safeguards in place to protect the records of individual clients.


All data used has been checked by the Colliers International Healthcare team in the course of our work. Accordingly, this research paper differs from most other published data which typically relies on informal surveys and comments. The research results, therefore, are indicative of real trends in the market.


The data for this paper covers over 5,500 records across a range of different care providers, including corporates and single home operators and consists of nursing and personal care homes in the long-term elderly and specialist sectors. The sample of care homes varies in each six-month period analysed but typically has a corporate bias. The data covers the whole of Great Britain.


This paper provides commentary on indicative trends in the healthcare market for the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2017. Unless otherwise stated, the data covers a moving two-year average, so for the most recent period ending June 2017 (H1 2017) the data covers the period from H2 2015 – H1 2017. This two period rolling average has been adopted to help smooth fluctuations caused by the wide variety of actual businesses we analyse in any one period. We also remove ‘outliers’ and weight each of the KPIs by the number of beds.
