Inside the report:

• Why supported living has overtaken residential care as the largest area of long-term expenditure – and what that means for future investment
• Regional fee variation of over £600 a week for residential care, and £3,700 a year for supported living, depending on where you operate
• Why 40.7% of providers say trading conditions have worsened over the past 12 months – and why more than half still feel confident about the sector’s future
• What’s really constraining growth (hint: it’s not workforce)
• Occupancy, EBITDA and M&A expectations from providers over the next 12 months

Whether you’re operating, investing in, or commissioning complex care services, this report gives you the evidence base to plan with confidence.
