Nine in ten areas to have a shortage of care home places within five years Nine in ten areas will have a shortage of care home beds within five years, a watchdog has found.
Research by Which? shows that there will be 42,000 fewer care home beds than are needed across the country, and that 87 per cent of areas will be short.
The total shortfall is expected to rise from 9,807 next year to 18,832 in 2019 and 32,593 by 2021.
The report assumes that all local authorities are not currently experiencing a serious shortfall of beds and estimates how this is likely to change over time based on care home closures or new places being added. The Daily Telegraph
