This week I became aware of the intention of Barchester Care to close the Kensington and Balmoral suites at Marple Dale care home.
This is clearly very distressing news to both residents and their families.
I have contacted Barchester Care directly expressing my deep concern about the situation.
I have also written to Stockport Council who have the statuary duty to make provisions for elderly care.
It is my priority to do all I can to secure the following.
1. A definitive explanation as to why the care home faces closure and what can be done to avert this.
2. Ensure that all residents have access to the suitable care they require.
3. That families and residents are kept fully informed about what is going on.
I will continue to monitor this situation closely and provide assistance and support to families of residents who contact me.
If you're affected by the planned changes, please contact my office either on 0161 427 0660 or email william@williamwragg.org.uk
