Care for the Elderly

Home care for the elderly can be a great alternative to a residential care home.  Many elderly people prefer to remain within the comfort of their own home.  According to Help the Aged the levels of required care for the elderly are set to increase significantly.

• There are nearly 12 million pensioners in the UK, 9.7 million are aged 65 or above.
• This number is expected to rise by over 60% in the next 25 years to almost 15.8m in 2031.
• The number of people over 85 in the UK is expected to have doubled in the next 25 years and trebled in 35 years.

• UK government predictions are that nearly 25% of people will be over 65 by the year 2031.
