The information requested is not collected centrally. The Information Centre for health and social care collects data on the number of care home residents whose care is funded, wholly or in part, by local councils, but not on the number of those funding their own care.
The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI), as part of its regulation work, collects and publishes data on the numbers of registered care and nursing homes and places in England, but not on occupancy levels or numbers of residents. This information is available at:
