Save Our Care Homes

Staffordshire County Council plans to axe Care Homes and Daycare Centres across Staffordshire. Although we recognise that there is an increasing number of elderly people requiring care and that a long term strategy for their care is needed, we do not believe Staffordshire County Council has acted properly in this matter.

Their approach has been insensitive and amateurish; they have failed to consider the wishes of the residents and service users, properly consult with carers, the elderly or their families and they have not given care homes enough time to develop their own business plans.

Your local Conservatives therefore believe that the current plans for the accelerataed closure of the homes should be opposed. We are calling on the County Council to return to the drawing board and develop fresh proposals and consult properly with local people.

Do you support our opposition to the County's proposals?
