Care Home Research

As care home operators seek to maintain quality of care in the face of inadequate local authority fee levels and rising costs, HPC research highlights the impact on registered bed levels throughout England.

Growth in the level of England’s elderly population is significant and well documented. Coupled with an ever increasing awareness surrounding dementia, it would be a reasonable expectation that the development of new care home facilities incorporating state of the art environment and quality care would be significant.Unfortunately, HPC research indicates otherwise with the number of beds in newly registered homes all but mirroring the number simultaneously falling out of the market. Indeed several regions are showing a net bed reduction.
