About care in DN34
DN34 covers the west-central districts of Grimsby — the principal town of North East Lincolnshire, a unitary authority with one of the highest rates of social care need in the East Midlands region, driven by a legacy of fishing and food-processing industries, high deprivation rates, and an older-than-average population profile. The 10 care homes provide 358 beds with an average CQC rating of 3.6; North East Lincolnshire Council commissions residential care through a market facilitation approach and has been working with NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board to improve care pathway integration following the 2022–23 NHS restructuring. Grimsby's care market is price-sensitive, making it one of the more affordable areas in England for self-funded residential care relative to the national average weekly fee.
