Single Room Rate in the Nursing Home Market

Nursing Homes Strongly Increased Single Room Rates During the Last Year


Single Room Rate per Operator

The single room rate of nursing homes in Germany is steadily rising. In 2017 approximately 19 percent of the nationwide more than 11,000 homes offer exclusively nursing homes in individual (single) rooms. In average the facilities comprise of 77.7% single rooms in the German stationary market. In comparison to the previous year this represents an enhancement of around 13 percentage points. Since several years this trend of increasing single room ratios in Germany is accelerated by customer demand and a regulatory environment on federal state level.

However, improving the single room ratio of existing homes and portfolios poses a structural and financial challenge for home operators. New homes are frequently built as single rooms only properties. The reasons for this development are, among others, statutory building regulations which are applied, for example, in Baden Wuerttemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia over the next two years. Nevertheless, there are still large differences in the single room quota between federal states, as shown in the graph.

The federal states of Bremen and North Rhine-Westphalia, followed by Thuringia and Baden-Wuerttemberg, have the highest quota of single rooms in nursing homes throughout Germany. In particular, North Rhine-Westphalia shows a strong increase in the single room rate of 13 percentage points, compared to the previous year, to 83 percent now. From August 2018 there is a legal quota of 80 percent single rooms for nursing homes. The houses in Baden-Wuerttemberg are still remote from the legal quota. Although the average proportion of single rooms rose to 82 percent, from September 2019 onwards the legal quota only allows single rooms to be offered.

A clear difference in the single and double room rates can also be seen in the type of sponsorship. The distribution shows that the average single room rate in private-sector houses is 73.4 percent, well below the nursing homes of community and non-profit operators where the single room rate is 81.2 percent.
