Foreword by Paul Costello, Chief Executive The INHO is delighted to publish the second annual survey of the private nursing home sector. This year's survey is the most comprehensive survey ever undertaken. We would like to thank all respondents for taking the time to complete and return the questionnaire and without whom, this survey could not have been published. We specifically would like to thank Horwath Bastow Charleton for the work they have put in to making this years survey as comprehensive as it is. This year's survey includes useful information on other associated areas and a diredory of the nursing homes across the country. HOME CARE MEDICALu,..o 8'-"f'f There is no doubt that there would not have been anything like the level of investment in the sedor if the tax incentives were not there. There comes a time when an imbalance between demand and supply arises, and as shall be seen from th is year's survey, the occupancy levels have fallen in the year since the first review. In Ju ly of 2006, many of the tax breaks associated with other tax based developments will expire, and the INHO recommends that the tax incentives for private geriatric care facilities should terminate also at this point, as they have now served their purpose. The private nursing home sector has grown significantly again in 2004. The supply of private beds has grown by approximately 10 per cent in the year since the last survey was published and growth is forecast to continue at least at a similar level in the near future. While new tailor made, high specification beds are welcome, the addition of so many beds in such a short time period, inevitably throws up challenges for the exi sting operators in the sector. Allied to this, the Department of Health & Children appear to be unrelenting in their desire to develop additional geriatric care beds through Public Private Partnerships. Were these PPP beds to be developed, the sector would face worrying oversupply issues. The fad of the matter is that such growth in the private geriatric care sedor is somewhat artificially led, due to the tax breaks available on nursing home developments.

Foreword by Minis er ean P er It has long been the policy of my Department to develop services for older people which allow them to remain living at home or in the community for as long as possible in dignity and independence in accordance with their wishes. However, when an older person can no longer live in the community, it is important that he/she can have access to long-term care of a high quality. I am working with the private nursing homes to continue to enhance and develop their services and facilities. I am impressed with the comprehensive range of activities, day outings, arts and crafts, music and dance etc in some of the private nursing homes along with the roll out of services such as rehabilitation, physiotherapy, chiropody, speech and language therapy. With the current Government incentive there has been tremendous capital investment in the Private Nursing Home sector in the last number of years which has encouraged the development of centres of excellence and high quality purpose built nursing units. The publication of the report Protecting Our Future was a momentous occasion for the older people in this country. This report, in starting with a definition of elder abuse and recommending the putting in place of structures to deal with suspected cases will, hopefully, give older people who feel they are the subject of abuse in any shape or form, the confidence to report their anxieties, appropriate, to such as a social worker, a public health nurse, a member of the Garda Siochana or, indeed, any professional or care worker. Furthermore, a National Implementation Group has been established, as recommended in the Elder Abuse Report. -- lib Bank 4 as HOM ECAIU ME 0 ICALt.zc.o 8 1Jo1f'f I am determined to press ahead with the gradual implementation of the report. 0.8 million was made available in 2003 and 0.7S million was made available this year, to commence the process. The nursing home sector can play its part in ensuring that adequate safeguards are in place for the protection of vulnerable adults in its care and by participating in the efforts to raise public awareness of elder abuse. These are exciting times for the health system in Ireland. Following an audit of the structures and functions of the system, it was decided to put in place a comprehensive programme of change for the health sector. I firmly believe that the decisions made will reinforce and build on the efforts to date in order to provide a framework for developing services and optimizing the impact of these services on the patients and clients who rely on them. I want to reassure those in the private nursing home sector of my Department's and the health agencies willingness to work with them on a partnership basis in the future and of our intention to engage with them in meaningful consultation as and when this is required. Finally, I welcome the publication of this survey and I would like to thank Paul Costello for inviting me to write this foreword. Sean Power. T.O. Minister of State.

HOME CAR E 8..,.,-f' p utive Summary & HiQhliahts This is the second annual survey of the private nursing home sector in Ireland undertaken by Horwath Bastow Cha rleton on behalf of the Irish Nursing Homes Organisation. This year's survey reveals a significant increase in the bed supply throughout the country, with 1,515 new private beds, representing an increase of over 10% on 2003 levels. The Southern Health board area saw the greatest number of beds added, with 371 extra beds this year. The total number of beds (both public and private) in the country is in the region of 27,000 beds. According to the National Council on Ageing and Older People 5% of the older population require long stay care. If this is applied to the population over 65 of each health board area and compared with the total bed supply (publ ic and private beds) in that area, it would indicate an oversupply in every health board area at present. Were a more reasonable occupancy level of 90 per cent chosen, then although the oversupply lessens, there would still be a slight oversupply across the country. With regard to staff costs the survey found that the average staff cost per bed was 13,585. It also found that the average weekly food bill per resident was 37.17, or almost 2,OOO per annum. Therefore the annual cost of staffing and food alone amounts to in excess of 15,500 per annum. The weekly rates charged by nursing homes increased marginally, with an overall increase on 2003 levels of 21 per bed. If these trends of falling occupancy levels and increasing costs are to continue it is likely that the profitability of the private nursing home sedor will be put under pressure. All indications are that this trend is likely to continue, with planning applications submitted to date for 47 additional new-build nursing homes, and 22 extensions to existing nursing homes. In addition to an increasing bed supply, this year's survey has seen a drop in the average occupancy, from 89% in 2003 to 86.8% in 2004. It is likely that we will see a further drop in occupancy levels in the future due to the continuing growth in bed numbers due to the ongoing availability of capital allowances and the planned additional community nursing beds under the PPP's. The survey also examined some of the costs associated with providing nursing home care. lib Bank 6 Horwath Bastow (harleton

HOMECARE ME8~ Intro rtion & Methodolo The INHO is the largest private nursing homes organisation with the greatest geographical spread across the country. The INHO has highlighted the issues of: Falling occupancy rates; Inadequate subvention levels, and Rising costs In order to scientifically report on the key issues affecting the industry, the INHO initiated an annual survey, which will report on the key statistics for the year under review. In addition, over a number of years, trends from one year to the next will emerge and as has already happened, the analysis of these trends will help shape INHO strategy and policy. The annual survey is derived from responses to detailed questionnaires sent to private nursing home operators throughout the country. There are 427 registered nursing homes in Ireland and of this amount, 103 nursing homes returned the completed questionnaire to. The response rate is in excess of 24 per cent, which is a high response rate for industry surveys of this kind. From the responses that we received, we are confident that they are representative of the industry as a whole. Based upon statistical sampling theory we can state that we have a confidence level of 95 percent that the results have a relative statistical precision of plus or minus 4 percentage points. 0- lib Bank 7 Horwath Bastow (harleton

HOMECIlRE 8 t.vf'f General Facts F P ela thp In I p According to the National Council on Ageing and Older people 5% of persons in the over 65 age group require nursing home care. Dementia affects 5% of persons over 65 years, with the figure rising to 20% of those aged 80 or rrae. Family care accounts for almost 50% of care provided to persons suffering with Dementia. In 2002 the total population over 65 years of age was 436,000 (11.1 % of the total population). This is projected to increase to 859,000 by 2031, which will represent 18.8% of the total projected population at that time. This is a considerably higher proportion of older people than that which currently exists in any country in Europe. According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) population projections the number of old persons will increase in every reg ion by 2031, with the most notable increases in the Kildare, Meath & Wicklow area (+211 %) and Dublin (+ 140%). Those aged 80 years and over is projected to double by the year 2031. The average life expectancy at birth for Ireland as compared with the EU average is: Ireland EU (15 countries) EU (25 countries) Males 75.2 75.8 74.8 Females 80.3 81.6 81. 1 The life expectancy at age 60 In Ireland is below the average for the EU: Ireland EU (15 countries) EU (25 countries) Males 19.2 20.1 19.6 Females 22.9 24.2 23.8 According to the National Council on Ageing and Older People, 17.8% of voluntary home residents and 22.6% of private nursing home residents have been in care for over one year. c- lib Bank 8

IRISh NURS1NC; hocdes ORC;r\ The Nursing Home Subvention c e e The Nursing Home Subvention Scheme was introduced in 1993 as part of the Health (Nursing Homes) Act 1990. The subvention scheme is a system whereby a Subvention is payable by the Health Board to people who are sufficiently dependant to need nursing home care and who are unable to pay the cost (means tested). The subvention payment is made by the health board to a registered Nursing Home on behalf of a person qualifying for Subvention. The amount paid by the Health Board is merely a contribution towards the cost of nursing home care; it does not cover the full cost of a nursing home bed. The levels of subvention vary in accordance with dependency as follows: Medium Dependency: High Dependency: Maximum Dependency: 114.30 152.40 190.50 In 2001 there were over 6,000 Health Board Subvented beds and over 1,200 contract beds in private nursing homes. 80% of all beds in the long stay sector receive public funding of some sort. 1 In 2004, 1 15 million was allocated to the Health Boards for the subvention scheme. Since its inception in 1993 the number of people in receipt of subvention has more than doubled, however the cost of the scheme has increased by 633%.' In March 2000 work began on a review of the subvention scheme to examine the operation of the scheme, the outcome of which included a revised model for the funding of older people in long stay care. This model is designed to encourage a move towards home based care in favour of residential care. Under the Health Strategy 2001 it is planned to introduce a home-based subvention in order to encourage and enable older people to remain in their own homes for lib Bank 9 HOMECARE 8""f'f as long as they wish. To date no separate budget has been allocated. The means test always takes account of your income and it may also take your assets into account. Your house may be taken into account and, if it is, there are specific rules about how it is treated, in keeping with the Nursing Home (Subvention) Regulations. The health board has considerable discretion in relation to how assets are treated for the purposes of assessing means. The subvention is designed to help with nursing home costs. It was not designed to meet the full costs. However, there are circumstances in which the health board may pay the full cost of a private nursing home bed. This is the case where the health board has what are called "contracted beds" in private nursing homes. There are no clear rules about who is entitled to a contracted bed or in what circumstances the health boards offers this arrangement. Contract beds in the ERHA are being phased out and replaced with " fully enhanced subvented beds". There are "maximum" rates of subvention related to the level of dependency. However, these maximum payments may be increased in the case of contracted beds and "enhanced payments" may be made in other cases. 1 Soo«:e RevIeW 01 ttw N\Jf5Ing ~ Subvention Scheme by ProfessoOf Eamon O'S~a 2 Source Spt'Kh by MinISter Ml(he-a1 Mart,n TD, Mlmster for HealTh JUnl.' 2003

HOMECAU MEDICALUc" 8~ Rules You must apply for a subvention before going into the nursing home, unless there is an emergency. If you go into a nursing home before you apply, you may not be allowed apply for a subvention for 2 years, unless the Chief Executive Officer of the health board decides otherwise. You must be told the result of your application within 8 weeks - there may be a delay if you do not supply all the relevant information. If you are refused a subvention or granted less than the maximum applicable to your level of dependency, you must be told the reason and you must be told about your right to appeal. Qualifying for a subvention In order to qualify for a subvention you must be: sufficiently dependent to require maintenance in a nursing home and unable to pay any or part of the cost of maintenance in the home, i.e., you must pass a means test. Dependency An assessment of your level of dependency is carried out on behalf of the health board by a doctor, nurse, occupational therapist or physiotherapist. The assessment may involve interviewing you and your nearest relatives. Your medical condition is taken into account and the assessment also includes an evaluation of your ability to carry out the tasks of daily living and of the level of social support available to you. Daily living The assessment of your ability to carry out the tasks of daily living takes into account your: degree of mobility ability to dress unaided ability to feed unaided ability to communicate extent of orientation lib Bank 10 level of co-operation ability to bathe unaided quality of memory degree of continence. Social Support The assessment of your social support takes into account: your housing conditions the number of people in the household the ability of the household members (if any) to care for you the extent of support from your community and the services you are receiving. Levels of dependency Medium Dependency - this exists when your independence is impaired to the extent that you need nursing home care because the appropriate support and nursing care required cannot be provided in the community. Your mobility would be impaired to the extent that you would require supervision or a walking aid. High Dependency - this exists when your independence is impaired to the extent that you need nursing home care but you are not bed bound. You may have a combination of physical and mental disabilities, may be confused at times and be incontinent. You may require a walki ng aid and physical assistance to walk. Maximum Dependency - this exists when your independence is impaired to the extent that you require constant nursing care. You are likely to have very restricted mobility, need assistance with all aspects of physical care or be confused, disturbed and incontinent. The means test The means test takes into account the income of yourself and your spouse (or cohabiting

IRISh NURSl c:; homes ORC:;r\NlSAClO HOME CARE ME8~ partner). It may also take account of your assets (but not those of a spouse or partner). The means test is usually carried out by the Community Welfare Officer. Income The means test involves looking at the income that you and your spouse (or cohabiting partner) received in the previous 12 months. Income from all sources is taken into account, including wages, salary, pension, allowances, payments for part-time and seasonal work, income from rentals, investments and savings and all contributions from all sources. Income is assessed net of social insurance (PRSI), income tax and the health contribution. Th e income of a marri ed or cohabiting person is taken to be half the total income of the couple. You may not deliberately try to reduce your income in order to qualify for a subvention, e.g., by diverting it to someone else. If you do, this income may be taken into account anyway, even if you no longer have access to it. Your total income for the purposes of the means test is your net income less one-fifth of the weekly rate of the Old Age Non Contributary Pension payable at the time. In effect, you must be allowed retain this amount, which is sometimes referred to as pocket money. Assets The following assets may be taken into account: house property (excluding household furn iture and goods) stocks, shares or securities money on hand, in trust, lodged, deposited or invested interests in a company or business of any kind (including a farm) interest in land life assurance or endowment policies valuables held as investments current value of equipment of a business or machinery, excluding a car, not covered under a previous heading. If you disposed of any assets in the previous 5 years, the value of those assets may also be taken into account. That value may include the value of benefit and privilege arising from the transfer. If a business was transferred without any agreement on benefit and privilege, the health board may take into account any payment on transfer or may impute a notional value of 5% of the market value on the date of transfer, whichever is the higher. In the case of a fa rm transfer, the health board may take into account any payment on transfer or any continuing income from the earnings of the farm. The first 7,618.43 euro of any assets must be disregarded. Your house Your principal private residence is not taken into account if it is occupied immediately before the application and continues to be occupied by your spouse, child aged under 21 or in full-time education or relative in receipt of disability allowance, blind person's pension, c- lib Bank 11

HOMECA' RE M E DICAL~ 8 '-"'f'f disability benefit, invalidity pension or Old Age Non Contributory Pension. To assess the notional annual income of your house, the board may take 5% of the estimated market value if it was not occupied before or at the time of the application by one of the people listed. This is calculated net of mortgage, loan rental or purchase repayments. Selling your house If you sell your house, the proceeds may be taken into account in the assessment of your means for a nursing home subvention. (There is a social welfare rule that allows the proceeds of a house sale to be disregarded in certain circumstances - if you are eligible for an Old Age Non Contributory Pension, blind pension or a disability allowance and you sell your home in order to move into a nursing home or other more suitable accommodation, the amount of money obtained from the sale up to 190,461 euro is not taken into account in the social welfare means test. This does not apply to the nursing homes subvention means test) Your children's income When the nursing home subvention scheme was introduced in 1993, your subvention could have been reduced if it was considered that your children could contribute to the nursing home costs. An assessment of the income of any children living in Ireland was carried out. This arrangement ended on 1 January 1999. So, your children 's income is no longer relevant to the assessment of your entitlement to a subvention. Of course, in many cases, children help towards the costs of a nursing home because the patient cannot afford to pay the charges, even with a subvention. That, however, is not the same as taking the children's income into account. Ref usal of subvent ion A health board may refuse to pay any subvention if either of the following apply: if your assets, excluding your house, are greater than 25,394.76 or if the principal residence is valued at 95,230.36 or more (and is not occupied by any of the people outlined above) and your income is greater than 6,348.69 per year. Pocket Money When a person is being assessed for subvention, a sum equivalent to one fifth of the old age (non-contributory) pension is disregarded. In this way, on ly four-fifths of a person's income is taken into accou nt, the remaining one-fifth is available for the person 's use and is often referred to as "pocket money". Choice of Nursing Home If you are considered to be eligible for a subvention, the health board may offer you a place in a health board institution instead. The rules do not specifically say that you may be refused a subvention if you refuse the health board offer of a place but the implication is that you may. If you are not offered a health board institution place, the health board must pay the subvention to the nursing home chosen by you or by someone on your behalf, provided it is a registered home. The nursing home does not have to be in your own health board area and you are entitled to move to a different nursing home and have the subvention transferred to it. You may choose a nursing home in Northern Ireland if it is registered by a health and social services board there. lib Bank 12

~.."owho..r::~~\ IRISh NURSINC:; ~Q.;> homes ORC:;r\NISAClON ~qes\ HOMECARE 8"'"" Review If a major change occurs in your level of dependency or in your means, the health board may review your entitlement to a subvention. (They also have the power to review every 6 months but this does not happen very often.) The board must hold a review if you or the person in charge of the home requests them to do so. The assessment of dependency and means in the review is carried out in the same way as the initial assessment. As a result of the review, the health board may increase or decrease the subvention or withdraw it or offer accommodation in a health board home or make arrangements for your care in your own home. The existing subvention is paid while the review is being conducted. If the board decide to reduce or stop the subvention, it must notify you and continue to pay the subvention for 28 days. You are entitled to appeal against any decision to reduce or withdraw the subvention. If the appeal is successful the arrears of subvention due will be paid. Nursing home care and tax allowances You or any other person who is paying the costs involved may be able to claim tax relief on the costs of your care in a private nursing home. Where to apply Apply to the health board for a subvention before going into a nursing home. If you or your family wish to make an application for an enhanced payment, you should put your application in writing directly to the Chief Executive of your health board. Each application is assessed on an individual basis and is at the discretion of the health board. lib Bank 13

HOME CARE MEDICAL/,i.c-O 8"",,1 Review of the Nursing Home Subvention Scheme A review of the subvention scheme was launched by the Minister for Health in June 2003. This review was commissioned as a result of the spiralling costs of the subvention scheme and raised a number of interesting issues. The report highlights that the scheme has biased resource allocation in the direction of residential care rather than community care. It recommends that funds should be allocated for a community-based subvention, thus reducing the number of low and medium dependency elderly people requiring residential nursing home care. At the launch of the review the Minister for Health stated that it was planned to introduce this home-based subvention, if and when t he necessary resources are available. The report also advocates the provision of more publicly funded beds for older people through the development of new Community Nursing Units. The proposed PPP development of public beds should be scrapped, as the private sector has a proven track record in the last seven years of developing long term geriatric beds efficiently. The basis of subvention should be consistent, equitable and uniform and non discretionary across the country. The level of subvention needs to increase and the subvention should be index linked as opposed to being reviewed periodically. There needs to be a greater level of efficiency in operating the subvention scheme so as to ensure there isn't bed blocking of acute hospital beds. There needs to be universal inspection of both public and private nursing home beds. In the longer term, the public sector should become a regulator only and not a provider of long term beds. There should be a subvention for residents who choose to stay in independent housing units associated with a registered nursing home. This would conform to the concept of home subvention. If the recommendations of this review are adopted it may have implications for the private nursing home sector, reducing demand and thus occupancy levels in private nursing homes. In early 2004, the INHO through Horwath Bastow C harleton made contributions to the Review Group on Subvention, setting out the private operator's perspective. The work of the Review Group is ongoing and the ultimate result of the deliberations is not yet known. The INHO made a number of recommendations in their submission, some of which are : lib Bank 14 Horwath Bastovv Charleton

.::,...:;w ho.j::~~\ IRISh NURS1NC:;.~~~ hocdes ORC:;(\N1SAt:lO l1es\-s Capital Allowances In 1997 Capital allowances were introduced on all new nursing homes built in order to encourage investment in the sector to increase the bed supply. Since 1997 the number of nursing home beds in the country has increased to approximately 26,500. The number of private nursing home beds has increased from 10,400 in 1995 to almost 15,000 in mid 2003. During the year from June 2003 to June 2004, there was an increase of almost 1,500 private beds, which represents a 10 per cent increase in a twelve month period. There is no date scheduled for the termination of the scheme of capital allowances for the nursing home / independent housing units for the elderly, therefore the expectation is that the number of new private nursing homes being built will continue to grow. The level of growth in supply is a threat to the financial viability of existing and new nursing homes. In certain areas of the country, there has been a particularly high level of development, and this has caused occupancy levels to fall and put their viability in doubt. Horwath Bastow Charleton particularly notes that there has been a significant number of planning applications in rural settings, where the alternative use value of land is not particularly high. In contrast, there are not as many planning applications in large urban cities such as Dublin, where land values are high. HOMECARE 8"'1'f requires such accommodation by reason of their old age or infirmity. A number of detailed requirements must be met to enable residential units to qualify for capital allowances.

HOMECARE 8"",f Sheltered accommodation units The Finance Act of 2002 introduced capital allowances on residential units for the elderly constructed on the site of a nursing home. Only 5 of the respondents to the survey had constructed such units, providing a total of 67 units and 144 beds. The average occupancy for the units was 60%. While the level of sheltered housing may seem low, it may well be that due to the planning and construction time lag, units constructed to avail of capital allowances will only be coming on stream now and in the future, and it is quite likely that in the near future we will see a significantly higher proportion of nursing homes having a mix of nursing home beds and sheltered housing units to cater for varying dependency levels among the elderly population. Years in operation The average number of years in operation of the respondents throughout the country was 16.6 years. This figure is somewhat skewed by the existence of two nursing homes within the population which have been in operation for in excess of 130 years. When these nursing homes are omitted, the average number of years in operation is 13.9. Capital Allowances Capital allowances were introduced on nursing homes in 1998. Since then the bed stock has increased from 9,628 ' to 16,461 today, an increase of almost 71 %. Overall 24% of nursing homes which took part in the survey had been constructed since capital allowances had been introduced in 1998. It would appear from the results of the survey that the introduction of capital allowances has had a varying impact on the bed stock in different areas. For example, in the North-Eastern Health Board, 58% of nursing homes which responded to the survey had been constructed since 1998, whereas in the East Coast Area Health Board, all of the respondents were operating pre-capital allowances, although 20% of these had claimed capital allowances, which would imply that existing homes had been extended or renovated. In total 36% of respondents had claimed capital allowances, either on the construction of a new nursing home or extensions to existing homes. 3 Source Oep;Jrtment 01 Health long Stay ActMty StatIStICS 1998 c- lib Bank 25

The highest average weekly rate was in the Northern Area Health Board, where the average rate amongst respondents was 704, over 50% higher than the lowest, the Midland Health Board, where the average weekly rate was 464. There are a number of logical reasons for variations in the weekly rate between different locations. These include: Significantly higher land costs and values in the greater Dublin area and in other cities as opposed to rural locations. Significant difference in the hourly wage rates in different parts of the country.
