care is not just about care home beds and the numbers of care homes. Of those aged
65 and over who need local authority support, 62% are cared for in their own home.
The number of home care agencies in England has increased by 55% since 2010 (3,184
more agencies).</p><p> </p><p>The following table shows care home bed numbers in England

care both the total number of care home locations active on 1 January and the number
of care home locations deactivated from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2017. A location
can be deactivated for a number of reasons, and not necessarily because the service
has closed. For example, it may have re-registered because it has made changes to
its legal structure or changed address. Similarly, other operators may have entered
the market and replaced the care provision provided by the deactivation of a location.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
