Number of nursing homes per 1,000 population - WMCA Wards (2025)

This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file. The file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of nursing homes located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population.

A care home is a place where personal care and accommodation are provided together. People may live in the service for short or long periods. For many people, it is their sole place of residence and so it becomes their home, although they do not legally own or rent it. Both the care that people receive and the premises are regulated.

In addition, qualified nursing care is provided to ensure that the full needs of the person using the service are met.

Examples of services that fit under this category:

Nursing home
Convalescent home with nursing
Respite care with nursing
Mental health crisis house with nursing

Data is extracted once a quarter and provides a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes, a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.

Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 4th of each month.

本指标由地方政府协会（Local Government Association, LGA）基于英国护理质量委员会（Care Quality Commission, CQC）的护理名录文件编制而成。该文件完整收录了英格兰境内所有受CQC监管的护理服务场所。我们通过国家统计邮编查询系统（National Statistics Postcode Lookup）统计了某一区域内的护理院数量，并据此计算出每千名常住居民对应的粗率。

护理院指同时提供个人护理与住宿服务的场所。服务使用者可短期或长期入住该机构；对多数人而言，这里是其唯一的居住场所，因此成为其"家"，尽管使用者在法律上并不拥有或租赁该物业。机构提供的护理服务与场地设施均受监管。

此外，机构还会提供合格的护理服务，以确保服务使用者的全部需求均得到满足。

符合该类别的服务示例包括：
养老院（Nursing home）
带护理服务的康复疗养院（Convalescent home with nursing）
带护理服务的喘息照料机构（Respite care with nursing）
带护理服务的精神健康危机救助之家（Mental health crisis house with nursing）

数据每季度提取一次，呈现特定时点的快照。需注意的是，由于邮编存在变更，少量数据无法匹配至最新版国家统计邮编查询系统文件，因此未纳入本次统计数据中。
