With over 11.6 million people (17.8%) in the UK now being 65 years old and over and 1.5 million people (2.3% of the population) being 85 years old and over, it could be argued that care homes are becoming more important than ever. With an aging Population comes increased care needs, but of course there is a whole host of other care home establishments too including, homes for people with learning difficulties, hospices, supported living facilities, nursing homes, residential homes, elderly care homes and children's homes.
