Homecare has proven to be a recession proof sector and there is a clear need for more care provision across the country. CQC states in their 2022 state of care report<\/a> that in the first 3 months of 2022, 2.2 million hours of homecare could not be delivered because of insufficient workforce capacity.<\/p>\n

The NHS Confederation<\/a> highlighted that only 4 in 10 patients were able to leave hospital when they were ready to. They said that at that point there were almost 13,000 patients a day who spent more time in hospital than needed. There are thousands of people that are able to live at home with support, but without a suitable care plan in place they can’t be discharged from hospital to return home.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

A rapidly ageing population<\/h2>\n \n
\n

The population aged 65+ is growing exponentially. From 11.8m over 65\u2019s in 2016, to 17.7m in 2041, this huge shift means that demand for care, support and companionship in the home will continue to soar.<\/p>\n

This brings both opportunities and challenges. The 65+ group is projected to grow more than 5 times faster than the working age population, putting pressure on companies to compete for the supply of care professionals.<\/p>\n

At GoodOaks, our focus on quality care to private clients, the support we provide our care teams, and our talent acquisition and retention strategies puts us in a strong position to continue to thrive in this growing sector.<\/p>\n

And growing it is: LaingBuisson\u2019s estimated value of privately purchased homecare in England for 2018-19 was almost \u00a31.5 billion \u2013 an increase of 6% from 2016-17.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
