As the UK’s population ages and care needs grow, the homecare sector is under increasing pressure to deliver more — with fewer resources. Here’s a snapshot of the current landscape and how technology like Ai Homecare is helping providers stay ahead.
📊 Home Care Providers: A Nationwide Network
There are over 13,500 registered home care providers across the UK, with England alone accounting for more than 12,000. These services are regulated by national bodies such as the CQC, CIW, Care Inspectorate, and RQIA, ensuring standards are upheld across regions.
👥 Service Users: Who Receives Care?
Nearly 960,000 people rely on homecare services in the UK:
- England: 818,000
- Scotland: 89,620
- Wales: 28,596
- Northern Ireland: 23,248
These figures reflect a growing demand for personalised, in-home support — and a need for smarter systems to manage it.
🧑⚕️ The Workforce: Challenges and Opportunities
With around 809,000 care professionals in the UK, staffing remains a critical issue:
- 152,000 vacancies are currently unfilled.
- 390,000 workers left the sector between 2022–2023.
- By 2035, an additional 480,000 care workers will be needed.
