On the most recent census night there were 103 care homes in Scotland for adults with mental health problems. Of these 78 per cent (80 homes) were run by voluntary organisations. The 103 care homes offered a total of 1,249 places, 1,115 of which were occupied by residents whilst 107 were vacant and the remaining 27 were unavailable.

Of the 1,249 registered places, 1,120 (90 per cent) were in single rooms and 622 (50 per cent) were in rooms with ensuite facilities.

The 80 care homes in the voluntary sector offered a total of 790 places and had an average of 10 places each. This compares to an average size of 20 places amongst the 17 privately owned care homes which offered a total of 338 places and housed 309 residents.

The 6 local authority run care homes offered a total of 121 places and had an average of 20 places.

Since March 2000, the number of care homes offering services in this client group has dropped by 26, from 129. However, in the same period the number of places has increased by 15 and there has been an increase in the number of residents, from 1,088 to 1,117. The average size of a care home in March 2000 was 10 places.

Table 15 omits any homes that have deregistered to become housing support services (more information on those can be found in annex F).
