This is a snapshot of the market for dementia care services in the UK. It is based on a Laing and Buisson survey (2008) of over 6,000 care homes in the UK which provide care for people with dementia. It also builds on the findings of the Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia UK report (2007) and the national strategy for dementia Living Well with Dementia (2009) to identify market opportunities and provide essential guidance and information with regard to planning and developing new and existing services. It includes analysis of the market for dementia care services; the growing market for dementia home care in contrast to residential care; dementia policy and regulation; impact of changes to the use of anti-psychotic drugs in care homes; and comparison of different levels of dementia care services and fees charged. This is primarily aimed at senior executives and managers within the dementia care sector including for-profit, 'third sector' and public sector agencies.
