“The understanding of what the refurbishment option would mean for current residents of the two care homes is highly significant for residents and their families and important for the wider community to understand. It would not be safe or practical for residents to remain: in simple terms, the building would be stripped back and be a building site for an extended period.”
What Nikkie Phipps has said
“Considering the future of care homes is never easy. This is naturally an emotive and concerning time for many people and we are grateful for the constructive engagement so far from care home residents and their families at both homes, and from the wider communities in the South Lakes and Alston Moor.”
