stop the closure of Wem care home in shropshire
Westlands is a good care home, a local resource, providing work for locals and needs to be supported and kept open.
Westlands is a good care home with very caring staff providing a much needed and valued service drawing residents in from a wide area due to its good reputation.
At a time when there are scandals of poor care in bad homes it is a scandal a good one is closing.
Why is this important?
The community have been shocked by the announcement of the closure on 27 th January 2015 ,winter,time of greatest demand for places, and the speed of progressing closure by moving on residents before any consultation has happened.
A full and proper consultation needs to take place
Answers are needed about the agenda the council has for the site.Why offers to take on the care home from the business company pulling out have been rejected without due consideration.
These residents are having to move out of their local area,their needs for stability of good care are not being considered.They are being "evicted" out of their last home and are distressed,fearful and anxious.Their concerns and needs need to be represented as do the staff faced with immanent job loss.
What is the agenda here?
