This publication presents management information statistics on people aged 18 and over who were discharged from an NHS Scotland hospital to a care home between 1 March and 31 May 2020. The first section of this report describes the methods used to identify the 5,204 discharges of 4,807 adults to care homes and describes their characteristics and COVID-19 testing status during their hospital admission. The second section focuses on the adult care homes that individuals were discharged to. It describes laboratory-confirmed care home outbreaks of COVID-19 across Scotland where the first positive test occurred between 1 March and 21 June. It then examines associations between care home characteristics and COVID-19 outbreaks, including examining association between hospital discharge to care homes and outbreaks. The data shows that: 843 of the 1084 care homes received 5,191 discharges between 1 March and 31 May (13 of the discharges identified were to English care homes or the care home could not be identified); using laboratory confirmed cases, 348 (32%) of care homes experienced an outbreak of COVID-19; the percentage of care homes with an outbreak increased progressively with care home size; almost all outbreaks (336/348) occurred in care homes for older people; COVID-19 associated mortality was concentrated in its impact, more than half of COVID-19 deaths were in 64 homes and a quarter of all COVID-19 deaths were in just 25 homes; 13.5% of care homes with no discharges from hospital had an outbreak, compared to 38% of care homes with one or more discharges.

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.
