As part of the County Council's plans to cut spending by £330 million, it has been announced that they plan to close a number of residential care homes, and sell the remainder to the private sector.
Such proposals are always controversial, and the risks that moving elderly residents to new locations raise are always emotive. However, if you do have a relative in one of the six proposed for closure (and Wade House in Stowmarket is one of those), you will undoubtedly want to find out more.
There is a consultation process, and anyone who wants more information should click on this link. The consultation will include meetings at the affected locations, and an internet survey, and a downloadable version of the full proposals is available.
