Care homes registered for other types of user can include homes for adults with acquired brain injuries, mothers and children, alcohol related problems, drugs related problems, AIDS/ HIV and other vulnerable groups.
In March 2007 there were a total of 51 care homes for adults in other client groups. These homes offered a total of 673 places, an average of 13.2 places per home, and had 542 residents. The majority of the 51 homes (44 homes or 86 per cent of all homes) operated in the voluntary sector and these homes offered a total of 529 places. Of the remaining 7 care homes, 4 were run by local authorities and 3 were privately run. The local authority run homes offered a total of 43 places whilst the 3 private homes offered 101 places.
Since March 2000 the number of care homes in this client group has fallen by 20, from 71 to 51. This has coincided with a reduction of 302 places, from 975 to 673 and of 242 residents from 784 to 542.
Background Information on the Census of Care Home Establishments
The Scottish Care Home census is intended to cover all adult care home establishments that are registered with the Care Commission. The Care Commission is responsible for regulating a wide range of social services and was established under the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001.
This census was first issued in March 2003 and replaced two previous surveys. It combined the former 'Residential Care Home Census - R1' (run by the Scottish Government) and the 'Private Nursing Homes Census' (run by ISD Scotland). In March 2006 some of the data collection, relating mainly to care home places, was taken over by the Care Commission. Therefore, this publication excludes tables relating to places in single rooms, ensuite places and occupancy rates that have been published in statistics releases for previous censuses.
Figures showing the number and percentage of care home places in single rooms and the number and percentage of ensuite places in care homes are available from Audit Scotland. This data is shown as indicator 3 in the adult social work performance indicators at http://www.audit-scotland.gov.uk/performance/ compendium/service/index.htm
Care should be taken when interpreting this data. The local authority split shows places that are funded by each local authority as opposed to places located in each authority as is the case in this statistics release.
The figures in this release relate to 31 March 2007. They are provisional and subject to change.
The number of open establishments covered by the March census was 1,456. Full or partial responses were received from 1,330 open care homes giving a response rate of approximately 91 per cent.
The figures in this statistics release have been grossed up to take account of non-response. The methodology adopted was based on carrying forward previous records available for the care home in question.
All figures in this release omit care homes that deregistered to become Housing Support services.
In Table 3, the March 2006 resident figure is taken from 2007 census. Some homes revise this figure which means it will not always agree with March 2006 resident figures previously published.
