Scottish Care Homes Census

The Scottish Care Home Census data are collected on an annual basis via an electronic system called eForms which is maintained by the Care Inspectorate. The Care Inspectorate is the regulatory body that registers and inspects care homes in Scotland. All adult care homes registered with the Care Inspectorate are asked to submit their care home census data annually however it is not mandatory that they do so. Approximately 80% of adult care homes submit their data.
