The total number of of registered care home beds have decreased since 2015 from 464 thousand down to 456.9 thousand in March 2020 and have slightly increased to 457.6 thousand as of November 2020. This statistic displays the numbers of beds in registered nursing and residential homes in England from April 2015 to November 2020.

In 2022, there were around 385 thousand beds in care homes in England. That year, with 13.9 thousand care home beds, HC-One operated more beds than any other operators in England. Barchester had the second-highest number of care home beds, with 13.1 thousand beds in 2022.

From 2018 to 2021, Care UK Nursing & Residential Care Services opened the most care home beds in the United Kingdom. During this period, this operator opened 1,150 new beds within its care homes. The care home operator which opened the second most beds in the UK was Barchester, with 619 openings.

In 2022, there were a total of over 17 thousand care homes across the United Kingdom. In the UK, roughly 70 percent of care homes are residential care homes with nursing homes accounted for three in ten care homes.

The UK has an ageing population – for the Residential Nursing Care industry, this is an opportunity for growth with demand for more beds expanding. Homes have upped their average weekly fees, contributing to revenue. High inflation over the two years through 2023-24 has raised fees further. However, state involvement has limited growth, which has kept care fees artificially low for many nursing home residents. Residential nursing care revenue is anticipated to remain stable at £9.3 billion over the five years through 2024-25, including revenue growth of 3% in 2024-25. Weak government funding and wage cost pressures caused by the rising National Living Wage (which will increase to £12.21 in April 2025) have constrained profitability. Labour supply shortages caused by high turnover rates have been of particular concern. According to Skills For Care, the job vacancy rate in 2023-24 in the adult care sector was 8.3%, way above the average rate in the UK economy. That being said, the vacancy rate is declining thanks mainly to a government-driven recruitment drive to attract overseas workers, which has been helped by reducing visa requirements. Rising real household disposable income had supported more self-funded residents, aiding residential nursing care. However, data from the ONS revealed the percentage of self-funded residents fell from 36.7% in 2019-20 to 34.9% over the year through February 2022. In the year through February 2023, this has risen again to 37% of the 372,035 care home residents. Families are still struggling with the rising cost of living, reducing the number of people able to afford private care home costs, which has somewhat constrained revenue growth. Over the five years through 2029-30, residential and nursing care revenue is estimated to expand at a compound annual rate of 4.1% to £11.4 billion. Robust demand from an ageing population will support industry growth. However, plans for adult social care reforms are to be released in two stages (the first in 2026 and the second in 2028), which has caused greater uncertainty for the sector's future. Staff shortage concerns will continue to plague nursing care.

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 65 years and over living in a care home in England and Wales. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

This dataset is about book subjects and is filtered where the books is Care homes for older people : UK market report, featuring 4 columns: authors, book subject, books, and publication dates. The preview is ordered by number of books (descending).

In 2019, HC-One Ltd was the largest care home operator in the United Kingdom (UK), with a bed stock of over 20,700. Four Seasons Health Care (FSHC) and Barchester Healthcare completed the top three with 17,000 and 12,400 beds respectively.

Number of council-supported permanent admissions of younger adults (aged 18-64) to residential and nursing care divided by the size of the younger adult population (aged 18-64) in the area multiplied by 100,000. People counted as a permanent admission include: Residents where the local authority makes any contribution to the costs of care, no matter how trivial the amount and irrespective of how the balance of these costs are metSupported residents in: Local authority-staffed care homes for residential careIndependent sector care homes for residential careRegistered care homes for nursing careResidential or nursing care which is of a permanent nature and where the intention is that the spell of care should not be ended by a set date. For people classified as permanent residents, the care home would be regarded as their normal place of residence. Where a person who is normally resident in a care home is temporarily absent at 31 March (e.g. through temporary hospitalisation) and the local authority is still providing financial support for that placement, the person should be included in the numerator. Trial periods in residential or nursing care homes where the intention is that the stay will become permanent should be counted as permanent. Whether a resident or admission is counted as permanent or temporary depends on the intention of the placement at the time of admission. The transition from ASC-CAR to SALT resulted in a change to which admissions were captured by this measure, and a change to the measure definition. 12-week disregards and full cost clients are now included, whereas previously they were excluded from the measure. Furthermore, whilst ASC-CAR recorded the number of people who were admitted to residential or nursing care during the year, the relevant SALT tables record the number of people for whom residential/nursing care was planned as a sequel to a request for support, a review, or short-term support to maximise independence Only covers people receiving partly or wholly supported care from their Local Authority and not wholly private, self-funded care.
