Care home funding sources in the UK 2023
Most care homes across the United Kingdom were funded by local authorities or by private pay. In 2023, 46 percent of care homes were funded by private-paying residents, while 43 percent of care homes derived their income from local authorities. On the other hand, just nine percent of care homes in the UK were funded by the NHS in 2023. This share of NHS funded care homes has been gradually decreasing.
