Deanwood Lodge to close

It is very sad to hear that Deanwood Lodge is closing on June 8th, apparently due to the difficulty of recruiting enough specialist carers.

There are more details on Glos Live Online here.  Most of the residents for whom the County Council has responsibility have been found places elsewhere, but moving and changes in routine are bound to be particularly upsetting for people suffering from dementia.

I suspect the "difficulty" in recruiting is because they won't pay people enough. Many in the care sector are apparently on minimum wage.
