B+A have been working with Aberdeenshire HSCP and partners to undertake a strategic needs assessment for Care Homes. The objective was to support an evidence-based approach to planning, decision-making, and delivery of care home provision for people in Aberdeenshire now and in the future.
​
This will ensure that future provision of in-house and
commissioned services is fit for purpose, affordable, and sustainable, meeting current and future demographic needs.
