| Annotation | The CCC conference on 30 June 2006 set out findings of the largest ever census of UK care home residents undertaken, a census of 32301 people in 751 care homes. The conference explored the results of this census and implications for future care policy development. The census participants were BUPA Care Homes, National Care Forum, Registered Nursing Homes Association and CRHAG - Cornwall Registered Homes Action Group. CCC intends the findings to play a valuable role in informing the crucial issue of resources needed and the planning of future care, which includes the physical provision, staffing and supportive infrastructure. CCC urges policy-makers to give priority to the issues highlighted by the results. Key results were: a very high level of dependency in general; an overlap in the types of needs between residential and nursing care; the impact of chronic diseases and the loss of mental functioning in particular; and the inconsistency apparent in the use and funding of care homes from area to area. The conference papers presented by the five speakers which highlight the census results, as well as the two press releases (30 June and 3 July) can be downloaded from the CCC website. The full report is not in the public domain. (KJ). |
