Residential Care Homes

Tables 4.7 to 4.14 contain information on residential care homes primarily intended for physically disabled people. Homes for other client groups are included in chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5. Please refer to the notes in annex A for definitions on which the data are collected.

In 1998 a new methodology was introduced for dealing with non-response. Care should be taken when comparing time series data before and after 1998 as the figures may not be directly comparable. Please refer to annex A for more details.

Table 4.7 shows the number of homes, beds and residents for physically disabled people from 1980 to 2000.

The majority (over 90 per cent) of beds and residents are in the voluntary sector. Over time there has been an increase in the number of beds and residents. However, these fell in 1999 and increased again to 868 and 773 respectively, in 2000.

In 2000, homes were running at an 89 per cent occupancy level, with voluntary homes having the lowest proportion of beds occupied (89 per cent) and local authority homes having the highest (94 per cent).

Table 4.8 shows the local authority split for the number of homes, places and residents for physically disabled people, at 31 March 2000. More than half of local authorities did not report any homes for physically disabled adults.

Inverclyde has the highest number of residents (50.7) for every 10,000 of the population aged 16-64. At Scotland level there were 44 homes with an average of 20 beds per home and 18 residents per home. This varied between local authority with Aberdeenshire having 4 beds and 3 residents per home. Perth and Kinross had 52 beds and 46 residents per home.

In Scotland the average capacity level is 89 per cent. Aberdeen City, Moray and Stirling are at full capacity while Dumfries and Galloway runs at below half their level of capacity.
