The Care Home Market in Wales: Mapping the Sector

The Minister for Health and Social Care asked the Public Policy Institute for Wales (PPIW) through the Institute of Public Care (IPC) at Oxford Brookes University to provide an overview of the care home market for older people in Wales and a view on its future sustainability. The project has involved analysis of quantitative and qualitative data including:

• CSSIW registration and inspection data produced specifically in April 2015 for this project.
• Interviews with local authority and LHB commissioners across Wales.
• Information about provider organisations using publicly available company data, organisations annual reports, Dun & Bradstreet reports and interviews.
• Other sources including other recent research, national agencies and estate agents.
