The local authority could shut care homes in several towns, including Ashbourne, Ilkeston and Swadlincote
A Derbyshire council is looking to close up to 11 care homes in order to bridge its £40 million funding gap. Derbyshire County Council runs and owns 16 care homes but is looking to close up to 11 of these in a drastic move to help balance its budget, with an aim to refocus on services for people with dementia and their carers.
The 11 care home closures would affect 162 residents, who would need to be relocated to another council care home, to a private facility, or housed elsewhere. A plan to close nine care homes, retaining Florence Shipley and Lacemaker Court from the list above, is also being considered, which would see 135 residents affected.
The council has not yet detailed how many care home and day centre staff are at risk of losing their jobs as a result of the plans, writing that a further consultation on staffing would take place after the consultation on the closure plans. Last September, the county council brought in a pre-emptive hiring freeze across the authority in order to bridge last year’s budget gap which once stood at £46 million.
Councillor Natalie Hoy, the authority’s cabinet member for adult care, said: “People tell us that they want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible, and with the right help and support, they can. This has led to a decline in demand for traditional residential care.
