New care home inspection ratings should be considered alongside information on local availability

Research output: Non-textual formBlog

Abstract

In our paper recently published in the International Journal of Care and Caring, changes in geographical patterns of access to registered residential and nursing bed places in older adult care homes in Wales were highlighted for the period spanning lockdowns, from March 2019 to May 2022. This research suggests that while information on the quality-of-care of such homes will be useful in helping to make informed decisions, ratings need to be considered alongside the degree of choice available in different parts of Wales.
