This briefing paper describes recent trends in the demographics of people who receive end of life care in a care home, presenting data on the place and cause of death for permanent and temporary residents of care homes. It also provides analyses of variation by geographical region. It reports that nearly two thirds (62 per cent) of people who died in care homes have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease as an underlying or contributory cause of death. It is the second of two briefings produced by National End of Life Care Intelligence Network to describe the important role that care homes play in the care of people at the end of life.

A summary of recent trends in life expectancy among those aged 65 and over in England, in the English regions and local authorities. The report shows that the overall upward trend in life expectancy at all older ages continues. Life expectancy at older ages in England is now the highest on record for all the age and sex groups studied, except for females aged 85, for whom it is the same as it was in 2011. The report shows however, that despite this overall picture of improvement, calculated life expectancy for older people in some parts of the country did not increase or fell. At English local authority level there are significant variations in the trend in life expectancy at older age for which there is no apparent explanation. The report also includes trends in life expectancy in the European Union. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report presents the results of the finance mapping exercise carried out as part of the autumn review process. It provides details of the level of investment in mental health services for older people’s mental health services (OPMH) covering people aged 65 and above, in England for 2011/12 and compares it with the reported results in previous in OPMH in England since 2006/07. Overall, 87% of OPMH investment by value was reported with only 13% being estimated – a little higher estimation than last year but still very creditable for a non-mandatory collection. Return rates were better from PCTs than Local Authorities (89% investment reported compared to 84%). The largest area of non-returns was the same as the working age adult survey, from the West Midlands area which consequently has a much higher level of estimation. Total reported overall cash investment in OPMH mental health services fell by -1.00% from £2.859 billion in 2010/11 to £2.830 billion in 2011/12. 62% of the OPMH services in 2011/12 were commissioned by PCTs and 38% reported commissioned by Local Authorities.

The analyses in this report are based on deaths registered between 2001 and 2009 of people who were usually resident in England and who died with Alzheimer's disease, dementia or senility recorded on their death certificates. The analyses examine numbers, age and gender profiles, and place of death, using mortality data compiled by the Office for National Statistics. The results show that there were 631,078 deaths for which one or more of the conditions Alzheimer's disease, dementia or senility were mentioned on death certificates between 2001 and 2009, representing approximately 15% of all deaths recorded in England over the same period.

This document aims to provide a bird's eye view of the demographic changes that have occurred in county areas over the last decade. The data reveals that for the first time, there are almost precisely as many over 65s in county areas than there are children and young people aged 0-19. The number of new over 65s outnumbered children and young people by a ratio 15 to 1. In contrast, the ratio of new over 65s to children and young people in metropolitan towns and cities was 3 to 1 and in London 2 to 1. This growth in the elderly population is welcome - it means people are living longer or that they are choosing a county area as a place to live. However, this demographic rise does pose a significant challenge to the delivery of adult social care services. CCN's member councils already spend around half their budgets on adult social care: a growing over 65s population will only add to these pressures. As with core local government funding, the distribution of social care funding has failed to keep pace with changing demographics and demand trends. As well as existing pressures, these growing elderly demographics mean that county areas are particularly exposed to the government's forthcoming adult social care charging reforms, which will make more individuals eligible for at least some state support towards their care costs, as well as enabling those who fund and arrange their own care to ask their council to arrange it on their behalf.

Short report, produced for the National Care Forum, which analyses the number of care home beds operated by the not profit sector in the first half of 2016. The data is taken from the CQC registers, and focuses on care homes providing accommodation for the 65 plus age group, ignoring small units of 9 beds or less. It reports on numbers of beds in the not-for-profit sector compared to the market as a whole, new and lost beds due to care home openings and closures, change in supply by region, and openings and closures by care home type (dementia, residential, and nursing care). It finds that there has been a reduction in the number of not-for-profit beds, which corresponds to trends in the social care sector across England as a whole. It also found major variations by region and by type of care offered. As a whole the not-for-profit sector shows a shift towards residential rather than nursing beds, with the total market moving in the opposite direction. (Edited publisher abstract)

This analysis focuses on the changes in the over 65 resident care home population of England and Wales. This age group represents most of the care home population: 82.5 per cent in 2011. However, the care home resident population for those aged 65 and over has remained almost stable since 2001 with an increase of 0.3 per cent, despite growth of 11.0 per cent in the overall population at this age. Fewer women but more men aged 65 and over were living as residents of care homes in 2011 compared to 2001; the population of women fell by around 9,000 (-4.2 per cent) while the population of men increased by around 10,000 (15.2 per cent). The gender gap in the older resident care home population has, therefore, narrowed since 2001. In 2011 there were around 2.8 women for each man aged 65 and over compared to a ratio of 3.3 women for each man in 2001.The resident care home population is ageing: in 2011, people aged 85 and over represented 59.2 per cent of the older care home population compared to 56.5 per cent in 2001.
