7 To evolve the existing institutional model of long term care into a world class, cutting edge marketplace fit for the 21 st Century. One that will liberate people to live vibrant, dignified lifestyles enhancing their capabilities and purpose in life. Vision

8 What is the Long term Care Revolution?  Its an ambitious programme to stimulate and catalyse innovation in the long term care sector.  Its purpose is to disrupt the institutional model of long term care provision as we know it in the UK.  Its aim is to create diverse, vibrant, cutting-edge non- institutionalised products, services and systems that are fit for purpose, fit for the future, sustainable and responsive to public demand.  Its NOT about reforming what exists, but about replacing a 19 th century model with alternatives that reflect 21 st century living and advances.

9 Why we need to act  To keep pace with demographic demands, over the next 50 years residential and nursing home places will need to expand by around 150% and the numbers of hours of home care by around 140%. (Wittenberg et al, 2004)  By 2030 there will be 2 million adults over the age of 65 without adult children to look after them; 230,000 will be in need of more than 20 hours care a week and no informal support. (IPPR, 2014)  Long Term care expenditure would need to rise by 315% in real terms between 2000 and 2051 to meet demographic demands. (Wittenberg et al, 2004)  The Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) projects that the numbers of people aged 65 years and over in the UK will grow from 9.3m in 2000 to 16.8m in 2051, an increase of 81%. (GAD, 2003)
