As a manager of BME Luxury Care Home - a registered business operating in England, the directors have asked you to consider the viability of investing in a privately owned and managed nursing home. This is of course led by an ever-increasing demand for such services among an aging population in England. The mission statement is: “a commitment to excellence in long-term support and care”. The plan is to, expand over time, to a network of at least five luxury facilities in London.

The vision of the directors is to achieve the highest possible level of person-centred care in a home-like environment. Long-term care includes medical and non-medical care for individuals who need support with their activities of daily living. Many of the service users would be self-funding but some would be eligible for social care funding. Users may have a range of complex needs and/or disability that may challenge their ability to carry out certain activities of daily living.

Task 1: Prepare a 1500-word internal memorandum for the directors of the care home, critically discussing the advantages and disadvantages of at least two strategic planning models appropriate to the care sector in England. The directors expect a recommendation as to which model you propose for business growth and why?
