Abstract

Over the last two decades, the care home sector has been a significant provider of long-term care for older people, with 11 500 homes providing care for 236 700 people across England and Wales. New admissions to residential care homes are increasingly older, aged 80 and over and have high levels of physical dependency, cognitive impairment and behavioural problems.
