Care in Retirement
While it is often associated solely with residential facilities, the sector is broader in scope, comprising both Residential Care and Support at Home. Residential care provides ongoing assistance in purpose‑built facilities, whereas support at home delivers services to individuals in their own homes, enabling them to maintain independence for longer.
The sector has faced intense financial pressures, prompting the introduction of new rules in November 2025 aimed at ensuring long-term sustainability and creating a fairer system for all members of society.
The reality of caring for so many people has highlighted a substantial increase in expenses during the years when disability and frailty become common. However, while the reforms aim to address sustainability, they have also added complexity, potentially making access more challenging rather than easier.
