Help! - Save our Roseland Court Nursing Home Tregony
We need you to sign a petition to try to stop the closure of Roseland Court Nursing Home in Tregony.
Why is this important?
Roseland Court Nursing Home is a thriving care home in Tregony. It has amazing reviews, runs at a profit, is always full, and has a great name in the community. It's the only care home in the area. The freeholders want to close the home, and turn it into apartments. Our residents and families, staff and friends are extremely distressed and have been given notice to leave. Residents who live in the existing apartments are very worried, as they purchased the properties with the security of having the nursing home at hand if they required nursing care. Nursing Homes are vital in Cornwall. We have an elderly population, people come to retire in Cornwall for the beautiful countryside and quiet pace of life. Cornwall has lost 138 nursing beds in the last 3 years, which has caused significant bed blocking in our only main hospital. The community hospitals are stretched, and some have closed. Nursing Homes need to be protected to help our vulnerable elderly and our NHS. The Government needs to support Nursing Homes and prevent this from happening.
