Care homes
Islington Council is addressing challenges with new care home admissions despite strong reablement service performance.
In March 2026, Islington Council's Health, Wellbeing and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee heard about challenges with new admissions to care homes. A report to the committee indicated that while reablement services perform robustly, with 81% of residents needing no further support afterwards, new care home admissions remain a significant hurdle.
The committee was informed that ambitious improvement targets are in place to address the issue of care home admissions. Care homes are residential facilities providing accommodation and personal care for individuals needing support due to age, illness, or disability.
