Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request the following recorded information relating to residential and nursing care for older people aged 65+, for the most recent period available. Please provide the following:
1. The total number of active care home facilities for older people within your area, broken down by:
local authority-run;
privately operated under contract / commissioned;
fully private
2. The total number of registered bed places across those facilities, using the same three categories.
3. A list of each commissioned provider by name and address, and whether it is in the public, voluntary, or independent sector.
4. The number of people currently waiting for a residential or nursing care placement, as of the most recent date available.
5. The average and median waiting time, broken down by care type, along with the number of people who have been waiting longer than 6 months, if held.
6. The average daily fee or tariff for care-home placements in the relevant facilities
7. The number or proportion of residents in council-funded placements whose primary support reason is:
dementia;
Alzheimer's disease;
other conditions.
8. A breakdown by gender of residents in council-funded placements, if held.
Please supply the information electronically and, where possible, in an open, machine-readable format such as CSV or Excel. If some of the information is held by another public authority, please transfer the request or advise which body is most likely to hold it.
