The Dementia Care & Nursing Home Expo, an event dedicated to care home growth and achieving a sustainable social care model, will be held at the NEC, Birmingham from 25 to 26 April, but what can you expect from this years’ event?
Much has been made of the ‘care home time bomb’ in recent months. The analogy refers to the growing demand for care home beds; the care industry needs to introduce another 50,000 beds within five years. To meet demand, an extra 15,000 homes for older people need to be created every year – a target that is not being met.
The aim of the Dementia Care & Nursing Home Expo is to help generate industry growth so the demand for beds expected over the next few years can be met. Filling more beds ultimately means that the care industry will have the funding to develop additional care facilities.
We also want to help improve the level of care and facilities providers can offer. Improving the level of care throughout the industry will create more initiatives that can cover a wider range of care needs.
