Clients receiving long term support during the year as a per cent of the adult population aged 65 and over (11517) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total number of adults aged 65 and over who have received long term support during the year, expressed as a proportion of the adult resident population aged 65 and over. Long term care is provided to clients on an ongoing basis and varies from high intensity provision such as nursing care, to lower intensity support in the community such as the provision of direct payments to arrange regular home care visits.
Any comparison using this data from 2020/21 and 2021/22 must take into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both activity numbers and spending. The differing scale of cases around the country, when the impacts occurred, and financial support provided will also affect any comparison between authorities. This makes any form of comparative analysis much more complicated and potentially misleading.
