Source: NECSU Capacity Tracker, 30 June 2026.
Data from the NECSU Capacity Tracker as at 30 June 2026 indicates that Warwickshire's disability and complex needs care home market is operating with relatively high levels of occupancy. Across the county, there are 27 admittable residential vacancies, representing 7.5% of registered residential capacity, and 14 admittable nursing vacancies, representing 8.5% of registered nursing capacity. This suggests that the majority of registered beds are occupied.
Given the relatively small size and specialist nature of the disability and complex needs market, vacancy levels can be significantly influenced by changes within a small number of services. Consequently, vacancy data should be considered alongside wider intelligence on demand, complexity of need, and the suitability of available provision to ensure sufficient capacity exists to meet current and future needs across Warwickshire.
Overall, the data indicates that there is available capacity within the disability and complex needs market, although vacancy rates should be interpreted carefully due to the relatively small scale of the sector and the significant impact that changes within individual services can have on district-level percentages.
Note: Admittable vacancies represent beds that are immediately available for placement and exclude beds that are unavailable due to refurbishment, staffing constraints, infection control measures, or other operational reasons. This provides a more accurate indication of current market capacity.
