* Transitional/short stay services (this may include the following services: Discharge to Assess, Intermediate Care, Reablement Support, Rehabilitation, and Respite Care)

* YPD - Young physically disabled (provides specialised support for younger adults aged 18-65 with physical disabilities)

For each category, please provide:

* Total number of care homes

* Maximum capacity of these care homes

* Total number of vacancies

* Number of vacancies (unavailable/non-admittable beds)

* Number of occupied beds
If additional or other categories are recorded beyond those listed above, please include them in your response in the Excel templa
Please provide data as a snapshot at March 2025 or, if that is not available, the most recent snapshot available, with the date specified.
 

Attached is data that is sourced from the North of England Commissioning Unit - National Capacity Tracker (NCT), of which all Lincolnshire Care Home providers are onboarded and submit data on a regular basis.

This provides a summary, at Local Authority Level (Lincolnshire), of maximum capacity, number of vacancies (available and unavailable) and the number of occupied beds, by the categories specified as requested.

This is a snapshot as of today (12th March 2025) and includes all 283 Lincolnshire Registered Care Homes. Unfortunately the NCT report does not provide the number of homes that specifically deliver care against the categories listed, and there is insufficient time/capacity to analyse this given the timescales of this request.

Data by care home, including their registered specialisms, is publicly available for download from the Care Quality Commission's website.

Should you require the attachment mentioned above please contact customerinformationservice@lincolnshire.gov.uk with the below reference number and this can be provided.
