As the UK's population ages, a crisis is brewing in adult social care. According to The Department of Health and Social Care, 57% more adults aged 65 and over in England will require homecare in 2038 compared to 2018. The NAO report also forecasts a 106% rise in total costs of care for adults aged 65 and over by 2038 compared with 2018.
Current underfunding has left councils struggling to meet demand and as budgets spiral, many vulnerable older people risk missing vital support.
However, emerging technologies could provide a much-needed lifeline for the sector.
