7.38 The data suggests that the predicted increase will be 27% increase in the over 65
population between 2012 and 2025, one year before the end of the plan period in 2026.
7.39 At the current time there are 14 known residential care homes/nursing homes in the
Borough which provide for elderly people. Of these homes, 10 cater for people with
dementia. A further three homes also have a registered care category for dementia
(although not for old age). In total, up to 588 elderly people can be cared for in the
Borough’s residential care homes 31 . The total capacity of these facilities is unknown at
this time although a number of them are believed to be still accepting new residents. It
is also reasonable to expect the market to respond to the increasing potential demand
for care (see: Figure 16).
