The Extent of the Care Crisis and Current Challenges in Care Recruitment: A Statistical Overview

The challenges in the care sector are not only about recruitment but also about the sheer volume of unmet needs.

The following statistics paint a stark picture of the current situation:

  • Currently, the UK is experiencing a significant crisis in social care, with at least 1.2 million people having unmet needs for such care. This issue predominantly affects older individuals, reflecting a growing gap where the number of people requiring care increases, but the actual provision of care does not keep pace. The difficulties in funding and providing sufficient social care contribute to this disparity, severely impacting the quality of life for many.

  • Over 14,000 patients are occupying hospital beds due to the unavailability of care packages, leading to increased hospital stay durations and affecting the availability of these beds for other patients.

  • Without the availability of appropriate care packages, many are placed in care homes, separating them from the comfort of being with their families.

  • 40% of people are experiencing delays in hospital discharge because they are waiting for a care package to be put in place.

  • The sector is facing an estimated shortfall of 160,000 carers, with an average of 10% of roles in adult social care vacant. This shortage is projected to reach 500,000 by 2035.

  • Approximately 28% of social care staff are due to retire within the next 3-5 years, which will exacerbate the shortage.

  • A concerning number of 400,000 workers left the care sector in 2022, with a significant 52% rise in vacancies from 2021 to 2022.

  • The continuity of care is compromised, and carers are often unable to spend adequate time with each patient, impeding the quality of care.

  • There is a shortage of available hours for earning during times when non-essential care is required.

  • The lack of physiotherapists and occupational therapists severely affects the effectiveness of reablement packages which is critical for patient recovery.

  • 20% of hospital readmissions could be avoided with proper care, indicating a gap in the post-discharge support system.

  • The market is operating at approximately 86% of its potential capacity. The unused 14% represents hours that do not align with the timing needs of vacant care packages, illustrating a mismatch between available resources and demand.

These figures clearly indicate an urgent need for strategic action to address the gaps in care provision, recruitment and support for the existing care workforce. At Care & Reablement Solutions, we are committed to being a part of the solution, advocating for the necessary changes to ensure that all individuals receive the care and support they deserve. We emphasise the urgent need for systemic changes to address the deep-seated issues within the care industry, ensuring that agencies can meet the growing demand for their services and improve the overall quality of care.
