Reports show care home model is working well but cuts could put access at risk
9th January, 2012

Demand for care home places is continuing to rise because of an ageing population and the fact that many older people with multiple health and social care needs find their quality of life is improved by 24-hour care in a residential setting, according to the RNHA. Responding to the latest Laing & Buisson analysis revealing a 3% expansion of care home places for elderly and physically disabled people since 2006, RNHA chief executive officer Frank Ursell said the trend highlighted confidence in the ability of care home providers to meet the needs of one of the most vulnerable groups in the population.
