Today, Care England and Hft launch the highly anticipated 2024 Sector Pulse Check Report. Starkly it found... ‼️ Three in ten providers have been forced to close parts of their organisations or hand back contracts to local authorities 🚨29% of providers are operating at a deficit, ⚠️90.9% of providers note workforce related costs as a top financial pressure, with 95% reporting that increases in the National Living Wage are their deepest concern Whilst the Government’s announcement on 3 January of a new adult social care commission headed up by Baroness Louise Casey has been welcomed by the two organisations, the findings in the report reveal a sector that cannot afford to wait until 2028 for change... Hft and Care England are calling on the Government to take urgent action to prevent dire consequences for those who draw on care and support, providers and their staff. Prof Martin Green OBE, chief executive of Care England, said: “Providers face impossible choices: absorbing unsustainable costs, changing their care models, cutting back on services, or shutting their doors entirely. This isn’t just a warning, it’s a crisis unfolding in real time. Years of unrelenting financial strain and a workforce stretched to breaking point have left social care hanging by a thread. Without immediate intervention, the consequences will be devastating for those who rely on care every single day.“ Stephen Veevers, chief executive of Hft, says: “The sector can ill afford a lengthy process to identify the solutions. The evidence is already clear. This year’s Sector Pulse Check is the next critical step for outlining clear, actionable solutions. It provides a detailed, up-to-date picture of the sector’s pressures and highlights urgent priorities such as workforce shortages, funding instability, and improved support for care workers.“ 👉 Read the report and join the conversation by sharing your thoughts with #28TooLate.

Investors think cutting staff is the way to save in assisted living. Wrong. Let me explain...👇🏻 One home I worked with hired an additional caregiver, even when margins were tight. The result? Happier residents, better reviews, and $200K more revenue in less than a year. It’s not about cutting costs—it’s about providing better care. Here’s the truth: A small investment in great care can create big returns. Want to learn how to turn care into cash flow? Drop a comment, and let’s connect.

There are three fundamental truths about care in 2024 that are spotlighted in this exceptional piece from Pivotal Ventures. 1) Voters are craving investment in care — a staggering 82 percent say it should be a top priority for candidates and policymakers to make it easier for families to take care of loved ones. 2) There's never been more compelling evidence and data for companies to invest in care benefits. Whether it's Harvard Business School finding that nearly 70% of employees with access to Wellthy were better engaged and more productive on the job, or that the average company saves $200,000 when just five employees access care benefits like Wellthy, or that 80% of working moms and dads cited childcare as a deciding factor in whether to stay at a job (in research from Moms First), 2024 has been the year for data backing up the case for care investment. 3) The care economy is massive and it's growing — already a $6 trillion economy ripe for more innovation and disruption.

For those that haven't had a chance to take a good look and understand how the Autumn Budget will effect care providers, this is a good summary article. I think the whole sector was hoping for more focus on care providers but once again it seems the folks in charge have missed the burning fire on the front doorstep. How on earth do we meaningfully shift the focus to community and away from the front door of hospitals if we are not able to fully support care provider organisations? We really need experts in strategic positions that understand BOTH ICB/ICS structures and the (largely) private businesses that make up the care provider landscape. Sigh. Wes Streeting and his wearables are great, but we need to build on stable foundations if we really want these NHS/Social Care visions to stand up. https://lnkd.in/etVRsnrj
