Further improvement in operator trading validates the healthcaresector's positive sentiment. 2025 Results at a glance Introduction As in previous years, we are incrediblyproud to release our 14th annualHealthcare Trading PerformanceSurvey. With 2024 highlightingstrong operational indicators despitevarious inflationary costs, the greatlyappreciated contributions from allsurvey participants are valuable inunderstanding how the sector hasbuilt on this in 2025. beds across 781 UK towns and cities,representing around one-fifth ofthe market. Average Weekly Fee (£) This year, we have once again seenan improvement in the tracked KPIs,including an average weekly fee level of£ 1,298 per week, up 9.8% from £ 1,182per week in 2024. Average occupancylevels have increased to 88.7%, up from88.3% last year. Even more positive isthat we have seen average EBITDARMmargins grow to 30.1% (four percentagepoints higher than last year) . Our analysis compares data from80% of the corporate care market,encompassing over 100,000 care RYAN RICHARDS,ASSOCIATE Sample overview Wales and Northern Ireland, wherethe sample remains underweight. Figure 3 shows furthercomposition statistics of the sample,with nursing accounting for most ofthe sample's care, and funding typefairly evenly distributed betweenPrivate Pay and Local Authority. Asper historical trends, homes over 20years old account for approximately50% of the sample. THE SAMPLE Despite the sample representinga significant portion of the sector,accuracy and consistency remainfundamental to our assessment.We, therefore, continue to conductour regional analysis, as shownin Figure 1, which compares theregional composition of the sampleto the total UK market. Once again,this highlights the closeness in thecorrelation between our sample setand the overall market, except for 50%As per historical trends, homes over20 years old account for approximately50% of the sample. Occupancy Occupancies appeared to haveresumed their upward trend, in somecases, surpassing pre-pandemic highs.With this being essentially one of thefundamental tracking points for thesector, it will, no doubt, provide furthersupport to the sector’s underlyingcredentials. Figure 4 presents apositive trend, indicating that averageoccupancy levels have increased to88.7% compared to last year’s 88.3%. considering the type of care, the ageprofile is, as expected, generally morevaried, as the acuity of care is notdependent on age. Therefore, youngerresidents who require such supportare entering nursing care at an earlierstage of life, rather than later, whenthey would typically enter less acutesettings. Moving on to the average age of residents on a regional basis, thisranges between 79 and 86 years old.Scotland has the youngest average agebased on the sampled homes. Figure 5 provides an insight intoregional occupancy. Generally,the trend is positive across theboard, with Northern Irelandhaving once again shown the mostsignificant year-on-year growth, atapproximately 2.5%, closely followedby the West Midlands at 2.1%. The average length of stay statisticsare presented, suggesting an averageof approximately 26 months. However,several regions emerge from thesample that fall above this average. Figure 6 then highlights theregional age split of care residents. Aswe can see, the majority of residentsacross all sampled regions fall into theover-85 bracket. More interestingly,drilling into the funding structure ofhomes, we can see that the percentageshare of those over 85 is far greater inprivate pay/self-funded settings thanin local authority homes. This statistic could be attributed toa potentially changing wealth profileamongst the ageing demographic andeligibility criteria for funding. Finally, Fees & source of funding Figure 7 shows average fee growthacross the UK, up 10% in all care.While there is still a substantialvariance in levels between localauthority and private pay fees,personal care average weekly fees sawthe most significant growth at 12%. Moving on to Figure 8, whichfocuses on regional growth infee levels, we can see that theScotland has benefited from themost considerable increase in theyear, at 16.1%. Considering funding structuresfor the various regions and the UK,Figures 9 and 10 suggest that theNorth East emerges as the regionwith the most significant shareattributed to private pay/self-fundedincome. This year, we can see that theoverall funding split has remainedvery much in line with previousyears, highlighting a reasonably evensplit between private pay and localauthority funding. In contrast, theNHS funding percentage has dippedslightly again this year. This may bea resulting factor of multiple battlesbeing fought at this level, such asthe funding pressures to integratedcare boards. “The North East emergesas the region with themost significant shareattributed to private pay/self-funded income.” Costs & staffing continue their respective recoveryjourneys, the industry must remainan att
