This is the UK’s only event dedicated to expanding, evolving and innovating your care home business; learn how you can promote care home growth and achieve a sustainable social care model. Read on to find out what you can expect from the most highly-anticipated social care event this year…
Much has been made of the ‘care home timebomb’ in recent months. The analogy refers to the growing demand for care home beds; as the care industry needs to generate another 50,000 beds within five years to adhere to a growing demand. To meet the demand, an extra 15,000 homes for older people need to be created every year – a criteria that is not currently being met.
Moves by the government to reform social care aſter its downgrade two years ago have been taken, with Jeremy Hunt assuming the title of Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and the Department of Health and Social Care confirming that Caroline Dinenage will become the Minister of State for Care.

generate industry growth so the demand for beds expected over the next few years can be met. In meeting these demands, the care industry can relieve the pressure it currently finds itself under. Filling more beds ultimately means that the care industry will have the funding to develop additional care facilities.
Our second key ethic goes hand in hand with our first – we want to improve the level of care and facilities care providers can offer. Improving the level of care throughout the industry will create more initiatives that can cover a wider range of care needs.
