In 2021, roughly 44 percent of care homes in the United Kingdom were funded by local authorities. However, the extent to which local authorities fund care homes varies greatly from one region to another. For instance, in the North East region, the share of care homes funded by local authorities reached over 60 percent. In the South East, on the other hand, just a third of care homes were funded by local authorities. Besides local authorities, care homes are often funded by private pay in the UK.
