Older People's Care Survey 2016

Older People's Care Survey 2016 The survey finds that more than 6.4 million people aged 65 and over are living in areas that do not have enough older people’s care to meet demand. Shortages in care are widespread as four in five local authorites in the UK report not having enough care for older people in their area. Most concerning, the biggest shortages are experienced by the most vulnerable older people: just 32% of local authorities report having enough care for older people who need support for dementia as well as physical support needs.
