Save the RMBI Care Homes across the UK
The Executive Committee of the RMBI have taken the decision to sell all 15 residential nursing homes throughout England and Wales. There has been no prior consultation with members, residents or staff and no explanation as to why this lamentable decision has been made.
I ask you to sign this petition so that we may demonstrate the intolerable fear, frustration and sadness this decision has impacted on residents, family, friends, staff and members who have all generously supported each and every home.
Why is this important?
Each one of these homes has provided exceptional, award winning care to thousands of elderly people over the years and has been a vital support for elderly and infirm residents as well as those requiring respite care in the final chapter of their lives.
The RMBI has stated that “at the core of their organisation is a steadfast commitment to deliver safe, compassionate, responsive, high-quality care, with kindness, support and trust”. The decision to walk away from the homes is exhibiting a cruel lack of empathy, care and consideration at a time when the residents need stability and security.
Thousands of people across the UK have supported these homes, on a voluntary basis, fund raising and giving their time to improve the lives of residents within these homes. If these homes are sold there is no guarantee that the residents will be allowed to remain or that the standard of care will remain the same.
The UK is facing a severe shortage of residential and care homes. The sector is already suffering from closures and cannot meet rising demand from an ageing population, leading to thousands of vulnerable people struggling to access suitable care. Why add to this critical situation that we are already facing? WE NEED THESE HOMES.
Please sign and share the link to all your family and friends to implore the Executive Committee and the RMBI to reconsider this devastating decision to sell the homes and explore other ways to protect our vulnerable residents.
