| Annotation | Bupa carried out a census of the population of its care homes in the UK, New Zealand, Australia and Spain in 2009 and 2012. A similar census of Bupa UK homes was carried out in 2003, and of Bupa and non-Bupa UK care homes in 2006. For the 2012 census, Bupa asked the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) to update its analysis of the profile of Bupa care home residents from the 2009 census published in 'The changing role of care homes' by Lievesley, Crosby, Bowman and Midwinter (2011). The 2012 Bupa census revealed an increase in the proportion of males in the care home population who are younger on average than in 2009. Also of note is that the past decline in length of stay may be slowing or have ended. The rise in the proportion of residents with dementia continues, as does the existence of the counterintuitive phenomenon that residents aged 95+ are often healthier than those in the 65-94 age group.
