Families of Wolverhampton care home residents fear for future as company considers closures
Families of residents at a Black Country care home are worrying over the future care of their loved ones as a major care provider considers site closures.
Residents and families who use Abbeyfield House, on Church Hill Road, Tettenhall, have been left uncertain about their future after a letter circulated announcing the possible closure of the site.
The letter comes as Abbeyfield charity administration staff consider the closure of sites across the UK, with another four homes in Cornwall, and three in Devon announcing they have entered a consultation period.
Clair Lancaster, who was born in Wolverhampton but lives in Canada and whose mother is at Abbeyfield House, said: "I am worried about my mother's future now, the future is so uncertain. I think that is what is worrying me the most, it is causing our family so much anxiety really.
"We moved my mother there just over 12 months ago because of how good it is, we moved her knowing that she would have security and that she would stay local and it really feels like the rug has been pulled from under us."
