East Midland’s Residential Care StatisticsFrom POPPI
Information collated by Katy Town,
Figures in this document are from the Projecting Older People Population Information system. This site is provided by the Care Services Efficiency Delivery (CSED) and the Department of Health, copyright Crown 2008. All graphs come with two sets of projected figures. The first has each year from 2008 to 2013 and the second every five years from 2010 to 2030.
Data has been collected from the POPPI website ( and collated to allow comparison between the councils within the East Midlands. The figures are projected up to 2030 to show the trend in the number of people using the service described.
Index:
1. Older people admitted to permanent residential and nursing care homes and financially supported by the council
2. Older people living in a care home (local authority or non-local authority)
1. Older people admitted to permanent residential and nursing care homes and financially supported by the council
The following graphs show the projected figures for the number of people aged 65 or over admitted to permanent residential and nursing care homes, including local authority and non-local authority care homes.
The information is taken from Social Services Performance Assessment Framework Indicators: Adults2007-08, Care Quality Commission, reference A0/C72.
While admission to a care home is appropriate for some older people, it can be inappropriate for a significant number, who with the help of effective community-based respite or rehabilitative services can be enabled to live at home, or to return home following hospital treatment. Councils' preventative services and rehabilitation strategies, in partnership with health services, should reduce numbers of permanent admissions to residential and nursing care. For this indicator, good performance is generally low, although a very low figure may suggest people in need of residential or nursing care are not receiving it.
The performance assessment framework indicators are a collection of performance indicators which together give a view of how local councils are serving their residents.
The rates per 10,000 have been applied to the Office for National Statistics(ONS) population projections of the 65 and over population to give projections of the numbers of admissions to supported permanent residential and nursing care, with 2007/08 performance levels.
2. Older people living in a care home (local authority or non-local authority)
These graphs show the projected figures for the number of people in care homes run by the local authority or not.
Figures are taken from ONS 2001 Census, Standard Tables, Table S126 Type of communal establishment and sex by resident type and age. The most recent census information is for year 2001 (the next census will be conducted in 2011).
Numbers have been calculated by applying percentages of people living in care homes/nursing homes in 2001 to projected population figures.
Figures 2.1 - 2.2shows the projected figures for the number of people living in a care home (local authority or non-local authority).
Figures 2.3 – 2.4 shows the projected figures for the number of people living in a local authority care home.
Figures 2.5-2.6 show the projected figures for the number of people living in non-local authority care homes.
