Geriatric care is long-term residential care for the elderly, i.e. people aged 65 or older. From one hand, such care is often provided in facilities, where the elderly do not need 24-hour care, but remain unable to live independently, such as assisted living facilities. Their main characteristics are:
the offer of rooms already provided or not.
house cleaning services, laundry and meals
assistance with daily activities (personal hygiene, dressing, eating, and walking)
They are not medical facilities
On the other hand, geriatric care can also be offered in residential care homes and nursing homes for people who need continuous care and help with daily activities. The nursing home is often a permanent residence for a person who cannot take care of themselves, but is not ill enough to need hospitalization [seniorliving]. Both nursing homes and residential care homes provide care and support 24 hours a day, however the main difference is that a nursing home is able to provide a higher level of care [carehome].
In the United Kingdom, the care market for residential care homes and nursing homes is expected to grow by 1% annually, driven by the aging population and the increase in elderly dependency. In 2032, it's expected there will be 13 million people aged 65+, representing 22% of the UK total population.
However, with supply outstripping demand, the market has been characterized for several years by significant challenges. In particular, the slowdown in the creation of new facilities and, lack of financing and recruitment difficulties are central issues.
The UK market is fragmented, with few providers that hold only 15% of all care home beds, while the top 25 account for 31% [Marketbeat]. It means that the care home market is the prevalence of small and medium-sized providers. Moreover, the local authority funding is the first form of revenues of the providers, followed by private payments.
