Scottish Care Homes Census (SCHC)
An annual census of Scotland’s adult care homes that reports numbers of care homes, registered places, residents, admissions and discharges at national and local-authority level, covering all residents regardless of funding source. The collection underpins policy and planning (e.g., National Care Service), adding resident-level and financial information not available elsewhere. Please note that the annual Scottish (adult) care home census has been paused after 2025 collection.
