7 01 Objectives The aim of this report is to identify the main trends in the Spanish care home market, updating the 2006 study and comparing them with the situation in other European countries. This report was commissioned by the Association of Long-Term Care Service Companies (AESTE). It updates and extends a similar report published jointly by AESTE and in General objective: Identify the main trends in the Spanish care home market from a study of the current situation of the sector in Spain and in the consolidated European markets of France, Germany, UK and Sweden. Specific objectives: Draw conclusions regarding the development of the markets. Provide an individual presentation of the market in each of the countries studied in order to understand how each of them operates and how it has developed in recent years. Present a comparison of the five markets, highlighting their similarities and differences. 7

8 02 Methodology 8

13 03 Spanish care home market Glossary of terms used in the Spanish care home market Users/ residents: Customers of care homes, i.e. the individuals who occupy care home beds. Operator/ developer: Companies and organisations which own care homes. Ownership of care homes and care home beds: In general, the ownership of care homes and care home beds is understood as public or private. In the case of some countries covered in this document, private ownership is divided into private (commercial) companies and non-profit bodies. Funding of care home beds: Who funds/pays for the bed. Based on the ownership of the bed and the funding, three types can be distinguished: Private beds: Beds in privately-owned homes which are privately funded (paid for by the resident). Public beds: Beds in publicly-owned homes which are funded by the public sector. Public contracted beds: Beds in privately-owned homes which are funded/paid for by the public sector through an agreement signed with the private supplier. The supplier therefore reserves the beds for the public authority and charges a fee for their use. Flat-rate contract: An agreement in which the price of a product, a service or pack of products/services is set in advance and fixed. 13

14 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory framework Regulations 14

15 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework - Context The main change from the situation in 2006 in the Spanish regulatory framework is the development of the System for Autonomy and Care for Dependency (SACD) The care of the elderly in Spain is governed by: A universal, free healthcare system, the National Health Service, which limits copayment to pharmaceutical provision. Since 2007, a long-term care system (regulated by the 2006 Personal Autonomy and Dependent Care Law, PADCL) which for the first time recognises individual rights for care in situations of dependency. The implementation initially anticipated for the period up to 2015 has been substantially altered by the restrictions on public spending made over the last few years. The main changes that have taken place since 2006 are as a result of the serious crisis in funding that has been suffered since 2008: Cost control and introduction of new copayment in the healthcare system. Delay in the PADCL implementation plan and restriction of the funding. Additionally, the co-payment systems in social services are in the process of review and change, with regional approaches that tend to include assets in the assessment of economic status. In terms of the general policies of the Spanish state, of particular note are the publication of the White Paper on Health and Social Care Coordination in Spain (2011) and the adoption of the NHS Strategy for Addressing Chronicity (2012). It is still difficult to gauge the real impact of these two documents. 15

16 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Regulations Law 39/2006 on Personal Autonomy and Dependent Care (PADCL) has meant a significant change in the regulatory landscape of social protection in Spain The prerequisites in order to benefit from the PADCL are: To have Spanish nationality. To have lived in Spain for at least five years prior to the application for assistance. To be declared dependent by one of the Autonomous Community bodies. The PADCL sets out three levels of dependency, according to the individual s degree of autonomy: Level I Moderate Dependency: when the individual needs help to perform several basic day-to-day activities at least once a day, or needs intermittent support. Level II High Dependency: when the individual needs help to perform several basic day-to-day activities, but does not require the continuous support of a caregiver. Level III Maximum Dependency: when the individual, owing to their total loss of physical, mental, intellectual or sensory autonomy, requires the indispensable and continuous support of another person. The services included in the PADCL are: Services for the prevention of dependency. Telecare Service Home Care Service. Daycare and Nightcare Centre Service. Care Home Service. 16

17 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Regulations Following its implementation in 2007, the application of the PADCL has been limited for various reasons (1/2) Budget cuts, discrepancy between the State and the Autonomous Communities about who should take on the larger share of the cost of provision, the difficulties in organising a system that requires skilled professionals efficient and well-equipped structures as well as a private sector willing to work with the public organisation but which is increasingly subjected to partnership agreements at lower prices and a single price with no differentiation for higher quality service, have resulted in a slowdown in the Longterm Care Law. The above is reflected in a delay in the initial schedule planned for progressive application of the Longterm Care Law. Chart of effectiveness initially established in the Long-term Care Law Phase 1 During the first year of application of the PADCL (2007) Maximum dependency, levels 1 and 2 Phase 2 During the second year of application of the PADCL (2008) High dependency, level 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Phase 5 Includes the third and fourth years of the application of the PADCL (2009 and 2010) Includes the fifth and sixth years of the application of the PADCL (2011 and 2012) Includes the seventh and eighth years of the application of the PADCL (2013 and 2014) High dependency, level 1 Moderate dependency, level 2 Moderate dependency, level 1 17

18 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Regulations Following its implementation in 2007, the application of the PADCL has been limited for various reasons (2/2) This Schedule has been altered by the following reforms: Reform Details Impact on Long-term Care Law Law 2/2012, of 29 June, on Finance for 2012 The reforms of Royal Decree-Law 20/2012, of 13 July on Measures to guarantee budgetary stability and boost competition Law on Finance for Adopting measures aimed at budgetary stability and clearly focused on cost savings. For the duration of 2012, the State and the Autonomous Communities are not permitted to reach agreements to establish the degree of financing with regard to the intermediate-level provision of the System for Autonomy and Care for Dependency (SAAD). As a result, the State only contributes the amount relating to the guaranteed minimum level. Impacts on the adoption of measures to address the structural and implementation problems of PADCL, as well as the financial sustainability of the system, introducing regulatory and financial measures. The most prominent are: the Social Security treatment of family caregivers of dependent persons, the classification in degrees (the levels per grade disappearing), the establishment of a minimum intensity of provision to avoid differences between the Autonomous Communities and also common rules on compatibility of benefits; reducing the maximum levels of the financial assistance for care of a relative and the amount of the minimum level funded entirely by the State. 18

19 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Regulations In addition, various changes to the VAT applicable to long-term care service providers have had an impact at three different levels Following the enforcement of RD 20/2012, on VAT for care homes for older people, daycare centres for older people, telecare and home care, the VAT is applied on three levels: VAT-exempt: When the service is provided by a public-law body or private establishments of a social nature (never a private company). 4%: When there is no exemption and the place is authority-contracted or is filled by the recipient of a service-linked benefit, provided that the assistance received from the authorities represents over 75% of the price. 10%: In all the other cases. In addition, the companies providing long-term care pay tax according to the type of customer: Public customer: they have service agreements at a set fee which includes 4% VAT. Private customer: 10% tax rate. The regulation of VAT in long-term care home services is a complex scenario that determines the amount to be paid based on the type of payer and not the service provided. It also differentiates between public and private funding. The reforms of Royal Decree-Law 20/2012, of 13 July on Measures to guarantee budgetary stability and boost competition 19

20 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory framework Funding 20

21 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Funding The funding of the Personal Autonomy and Dependent Care Law is carried out by three agents through four contribution mechanisms, the proportions of which are set out in the Law Funding General State Administration (GSA) Autonomous Communities (AC) Users Funding mechanism Minimum protection level The GSA funds the defined protection baseline, which is effective for every recipient recognised as a dependent person entitled to provision according to their level of dependency. Agreed protection level Funded through a State-AC partnership system to increase the minimum protection level set by the State. Additional protection level The AC define additional levels of protection to the minimum GSA baseline and the agreed State-AC level from their own budgets. Co-payment The beneficiaries of the long-term care benefits contribute to the funding, depending on the type and cost of the service and their personal financial situation. Contribution The percentage funding provided by the GSA is significantly below 50% of the cost of the care, especially for service provision. The AC contributions of the agreed level of protection must at least match those of the State. Finance Law 2/2012 suspended the contribution of the GSA to the agreed protection level. The same decision was adopted for Each AC freely decides to what the agreed protection level resources should be allocated. The user co-payment is established by each AC. 21

22 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Funding However, although the individuals cared for by care home services have important healthcare needs, the health authorities do not contribute to the funding of the services Most common user diagnoses Description The most common main diagnosis in users of care homes (over 30% of cases) is dementia. The majority of cases are also diagnosed with other related illnesses. The healthcare costs in the care of these individuals are very high, and substantially increase the cost of the care. Alzheimer s 11.4% Senile dementia (simple or not complex) 10.5% Arteriosclerotic dementia 5.1% Essential hypertension 2.5% Fracture treatment convalescence 2.2% Parkinson's disease 2.1% For care homes, the total cost per resident and per day is significantly increased by these costs. If these individuals were not resident in a care home, these costs would be assumed by the healthcare system.

23 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Funding In 2013, the total cost of the System for Autonomy and Care for Dependency (SACD) was 6,363 million, declining for the first time since the implementation of the PADCL, by 3% from 2012 Changes to distribution of contributions to the cost of SACD, total and by payer ( ). Figures in millions of Euros GSA AC Co-payment TOTAL According to the source cited, the cost distribution by type of funding is: 60% AC 21% GSA 19% users The initial trend of increases stabilised in 2011 and in 2013 the cost decreased. A continual decline of the GSA contribution can be seen since 2010, with a marked increase in regional contributions until , when these started to decline. This decline contrasts with the steady increase in user contributions. Source: Report on the development and regional evaluation of PADCL. 12th Report from the Long-Term Care Observatory. January

24 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Funding In addition to the budgetary limitations, as the total number of beneficiaries continues to increase, average public expenditure per user for long-term care has markedly declined since 2011 Average public expenditure per user/year ( ). Figures in Pubicexpenditureper user, , , , , , Average expenditure/user Other factors that can explain the reductions are: A 15% decline in the amount of the financial assistance for care in the family setting.

25 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Funding There are differences between the Autonomous Communities in public expenditure per dependent person, due to their different proactivity in policies to recognise of the rights and funding for protected individuals Differences between the AC in public expenditure per dependent person and the coverage of beneficiaries with provision (2012) Coverage (No. of beneficiaries of SACD provision/ /1000 inhabitants Castilla y León Cantabria La Rioja Andalusia Castilla La Mancha Murcia Catalonia Basque Country Extremadura Aragón Galicia Navarra Asturias Madrid Ceuta and Melilla Balearic Islands C.

For instance, Galicia, one of the most ageing autonomous communities, has a lower coverage, and Andalusia, which has a younger population, has a high rate. This information appears to show how the different communities are being affected by the established policies and priorities. The redistribution function that the system should carry out does not appear to be working very well. Source: Report on the development and regional evaluation of PADCL.

28 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Funding The cost of the System for Autonomy and Care for Dependency was forecast at 1% of GDP at the time of creation. However this may underestimate the projected needs. In 2011 Spain allocated 0.7% of GDP to long-term care. This is less than half the OECD average public expenditure on long-term care (the OECD average is 1.6% of GDP). According to an OECD report, public expenditure on long-term care in Spain, as a percentage of GDP, will triple and could even grow to six times the current expenditure by Monthlyincome of beneficiary Comparison of the expenditure on long-term care in the OECD and Spain, differentiating the health and social components.

29 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory framework Prices and Agreements 29

30 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Prices and Agreements The public authorities have three main formulas for contracting services from private operators Formula Description Duration Renewal Agreements for beds Agreement signed between the AC and the authorised provider, establishing as a general framework the availability of a number of beds (a % of the total) for the chosen users and a public fee for those beds. The public fee is updated on an annual basis. Varies according to the AC, generally from 4-5 years to years. These agreements are generally renewed. An agreement can be questioned if there are serious quality or administrative problems. Service agreements (service voucher, residential care) Some AC contract services without a set number of beds, and finance those residents who choose that home. In some cases this system includes a public contribution towards the construction of the care home. It is known as a care home voucher or cheque ( bonoresidencia or cheque residencia ). Variable, when it includes construction the agreements tend to be for long periods (20-30 years). If there is demand, the agreements are generally renewed. Management concessions Private management of public institutions engaged in care services years or shorter periods. The renewal is open to all suppliers. However, the number of care institutions in this system is very limited. 30

31 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Prices and Agreements As the fees for contracting care home beds are set by each AC, the fees vary significantly between the regions Average authority contract price per nursing bed/day, Average fees paid by the Autonomous Communities to the care homes under agreements, per nursing bed and per day.

There is a difference of 34.6/ day between the communities that pay the most and the least. These differences can be even greater, depending on the three VAT rates that are applied, according to whether the payment is made by a public authority (4%), a non-profit social body (exempt) or a private individual (10%) -see page 19- Andalusia Extremadura Aragón Cantabria Murcia Valencia Asturias Castilla La Mancha Source: Information provided by AESTE. 31

32 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory framework Accreditation and Quality 32

33 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Accreditation and Quality The development of the SACD implies the formulation of stable conditions in the accreditation of the services that form part of the system Following the approval by the Territorial Council, in November 2008, of the Resolution on common criteria for accreditation to guarantee the quality of the homes and services of the SACD, the Autonomous Communities are responsible for accrediting the homes, services and bodies. It is the AC who have the obligation to ensure the quality requirements and standards are fulfilled. They also establish the legal regime and the operating conditions of the public-contracted private homes. In addition, they accredit the non-public contracted private care homes and services which provide longterm care services to older people. Currently, the regulations published by the AC very often mix accreditation with other processes such as the inspection or authorisation of homes. It should be stressed that accreditation is a process with a particular aim that is different from the inspection or authorisation processes. Authorisation: Public Authorities act in which it is determined whether a care home satisfies the necessary conditions to ensure adequate care for users. In most AC it includes requirements such as the authorisation by the Social Services Authorities, municipal permit, registration in the Social Services Authorities and a prior inspection visa. Accreditation: Act in which the Public Authorities guarantee that the social services and homes to whom the accreditation is granted meet the requirements of the regulations and also meet the quality parameters required by the Public Authorities to establish agreements with organisations who provide these services.

34 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Accreditation and Quality The Autonomous Communities are developing regulations in this sector that will require the movement to certain quality standards (1/2) 1. Note that not all the AC have specific regulation for the accreditation of care home and daycare centres for older people. According to the study published by the Fundación Edad y Vida in 2012: Asturias and Cantabria have approved new regulation subsequent to the Territorial Council Resolution of Andalusia, Catalonia and Castilla-La Mancha have specific legislation on the accreditation of social service centres (Andalusia also has specific legislation for care homes). In the case of Castilla la Mancha, this pre-dates the implementation of the PADCL. Aragón and Extremadura, although they have not regulated the accreditation of centres, have functional, material, structural and staffing ratio prerequisites in order to enter into agreements with the Authorities for public-funded places. Castilla León, Galicia and la Rioja deal with accreditation within the regulation for authorisation, inspection and/or disciplining of care homes. The ACs of Valencia, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Madrid, Murcia and Navarra do not have any form of regulation for the accreditation of centres.

35 03 Spanish care home market 3.1 Regulatory Framework Accreditation and Quality The Autonomous Communities are developing regulations in this sector that will require the movement to certain quality standards (2/2) In the Basque Country, the Provincial Councils are responsible for social services. Guipúzcoa Provincial Council has regulated the conditions required for authority contracts for care home services for older people. 2. There are differences between in the AC in terms of levels of legislation. These include orders, decrees and resolutions. 3. There are important differences in the years of development of the regulation. Some AC have subsequently developed and approved a new social services law that establishes the need to promote the accreditation of homes and services. At the present time, only six AC have published specific regulations for accreditation of care home services, and in more than one it is very out-of-date. 4. The results of the care home evaluations are never published as is the case in Germany or the UK, for instance. 5. Currently in Spain, in the majority of AC, there is no differentiation in the access of suppliers to the provision of a high dependency service. Nor is a greater funding or a higher fee granted to providers who offer a higher-quality service and can meet the health and social accreditation standards that are indispensable for high dependency care.

54 03 Spanish care home market 3.4 Private operators The financial situation and cuts in spending in the social sector have resulted in an ever increasing reduction in the numbers of openings of new care homes for older people In 2012, according to a SANImarket study, a total of 57 care homes, including two complexes with housing and services, represented 87.7% of the total openings of the year, and 4,535 new beds (80.8% of the new beds). The difficulties of access to credit and cuts in the public authorities budgets have significantly limited the authority agreements to contract beds in private and municipal care homes, which has been the main cause of the lack of growth in the sector. More than a few private and public projects, which in 2012 were completed and awaiting opening, did not go ahead in light of the uncertainty as to whether they would receive public residents. The most recent limitations on support for long-term care approved in the General State Budget for 2013 have not helped to improve the situation. The main groups are opting more for the management of already open public or private care homes than for new projects whose viability is uncertain. Source: SANImarket magazine.

The group has also been awarded municipal projects that are still under construction in Villaornate y Castro (León), Almáchar (Málaga) and Dueñas (Palencia). Inclusion of new home care contracts with the Madrid and Seville City Councils. Inclusion of telecare in their range of services as of April 2013, starting two service contracts with the Valladolid and Ourense Councils. EULEN Searching for new contracts, both to include more homes in the network (for example in October 2013, it took over the Care Centre for Individuals with Alzheimer s and other Dementias in Salamanca) and extending its presence in the areas of telecare and home care (for the latter, the group has been awarded one of the Madrid City Council s home care contract packages). Commitment to increasing investment in the international expansion process in Latin America, driven by the economic and social growth of these countries, and the growing demand for the type of services offered by the Group. SARquavitae New care home additions have positioned the group as the leader by number of beds: 8,155 located in 51 care homes and 5 housing complexes. In addition to these, the new homes in Cádiz (120 beds and 30 daycare places) and Jaén (87 beds and 30 beds) have now been opened, taking the care home total to 53. The projects announced in Sabadell and others that have nearly been completed in Fuengirola, Sevilla and Palma de Mallorca will be added to this. Award of the management contract for the Mirasierra care home in Madrid, as well as the Alicia Koplowitz Multiple Schleroris care home and daycare centre also in Madrid. Diversification of services: Implementation of a plan to open night-time care services in some homes, and the development of telemedicine.
