The ageing of our population in East Renfrewshire is a significant factor for the delivery of council services. In our main social care services the share of people using them is higher than that in the population. For example in home care 42 per cent of people receiving the service are aged 85 and over. And, for care homes, the figure is even higher with almost two-thirds aged 85 and over. By comparison, the percentage of East Renfrewshire residents aged 85 and over at the time of the 2011 Census was 2.4 per cent.


In recent years, the number of people aged over 85 needing key services has been rising. This has an impact on our services because the number of people aged 85 and over is expected to grow at a faster rate than the rest of the population. On this basis we can expect the number of people with a need for home care support to increase by around 40 per cent and those with care home levels of support needs to rise by about 43 per cent by 2025.
