This report demonstrates the high-quality of the care provided in Integrated Retirement Communities, as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of this care, and the ability of Integrated Retirement Communities to help tackle the care workforce challenges facing the social care sector.
The report includes an analysis of the CQC ratings of care agencies run by ARCO Members in Integrated Retirement Communities - showing that 97% are rated Good or Outstanding - and finds that tens of thousands of care staff could be saved if the Integrated Retirement Community sector expands to similar levels seen in New Zealand, Australia and the US.
As well as highlighting new evidence and data, the report contains a series of personal case studies about the way in which high-quality care has improved the lives of residents living in different Integrated Retirement Communities.
