Social care has a new sense of momentum. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to end "decades of political drift" on the sector, and Baroness Casey's commission has launched its Big Conversation on Care. Whether that translates into the funding reform operators have long argued for is the question that matters most.
Our 2026 report draws on our expertise across the sector to pull together the data, narrative and policy backdrop shaping care homes today. The sector is absorbing a landmark CMA ruling on Welltower's consolidation of over 600 UK care homes, at a time when record investment is meeting record cost pressure.
We look at what this means for operators, investors and advisers, and where the risks and opportunities lie, both now and over the next decade.
