In March, 1994, there were 16 000 residential and nursing homes for the elderly in the UK. By March, 1998, this number had increased to 19 000 homes with a capacity for 453 000 people. The greatest increase was for the mentally infirm elderly whose bed provision increased 235% from 9133 places in 1994, to 21 500 places in 1998. It has been reported that these institutionalised elderly people have poorer oral health than those who live independently at home.
