Sustainable Construction & Growth

Oakland Care is a growing care provider with a pipeline of new care homes planned in coming years. Each of our new builds is carefully designed on an individual basis to ensure that it takes advantage of new opportunities to reduce its impact on the environment.

BREEAM logo

From 2022, each new build is certified upon completion by BREAAM, an internationally recognised certification which assesses the building’s specification, design, construction and use for its impact on the environment across 51 criteria and all of our existing care homes will have a certified BREAAM rating in place.
