18. Long term care should not cost us everything it means to be human

19. The Long Term Care Revolution – what is it?  Its an ambitious programme to stimulate and catalyse innovation in long term care.  Its sole 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.  Four million pound (£4m) investment in stimulating business-led innovation

The Long Term Care Revolution – the imperative to act By 2051 the numbers of people aged 65 years and over in the UK will increase by 81% (GAD, 2003) The support ratio is falling 3.10 in 2011 to 3.09 in 2021, then to 2.53 in 2031, then below 2.2 in the 2050s before levelling off. (GAD, 2003) Residential home and Nursing home places will need to expand by around 150% over the next 50 years (Wittenberg et al, 2004) Hours of home care will need to increase by around 140% over the next 50 years. (Wittenberg et al, 2004) Long term care expenditure would need to rise by 315% in real terms between now and 2051 to meet demographic demands. (Comas-Herrerra et al, 2003) The number of older adults in need of care is expected to outstrip the number of family members able to provide informal care for the first time in 2017 (IPPR, 2014)
