How many Dementia Beds are there in UK Nursing homes?
Jul-5-2009 By admin
My boss has asked me to find out how many registered nursing home beds there are in UK and also how many registered dementia beds there are in nursing homes in the UK. As a company, we need to work out our market share of these. Can anyone help me find this information?
Heres an article (but its from 2007) that states a few statistics about dementia beds in the UK. I dont know anything about this though, I just googled it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7113112.stm
