Welcome to our new and improved quarterly snapshot of the elderly care home market, tracking the essential market statistics for Great Britain: the Carterwood Index.

We like to take things to the next level at Carterwood, which is why we’re really pleased to showcase our new interactive dashboard for our Carterwood Index. This dashboard enables us to give you as much data as possible, not only providing a picture of the current market, but of trends over time to help improve your decision making.

We hope you find our dashboard as interesting and intuitive as we do, simply hover each graphic to show the datapoints, and toggle to full screen mode (top right button) to get a closer look.

In this update, we share our updated research into the size of the elderly care home market, analyse the asset quality of operational homes and take a look at the quality and type of care currently provided.

We also delve into elderly care home openings and closures, share our self-funded fee research, update you on the predicted shortfall of en-suite and wetroom elderly care home accommodation and take a glance at essential planning statistics.

Of course, there is only so much juicy data we can fit into one dashboard, so if you want to find out more, have a question or would like to give us some feedback, we would love to hear from you – simply get in touch.
