The future of a residential care home in Neath Port Talbot has been discussed this week. Trem Y Glyn residential care home in Glynneath currently provides residential care and support for people aged 65 and older, including those with dementia and other illnesses.
The home is managed by Welsh-based care group Pobl, on behalf of Neath Port Talbot Council, and while it has been accepted that the building will soon be at the end of its operational use, councillors decided its life should be extended until March, 2024.
The decision came after officers recommended the extension due to the pressure it could put on the local health and social care system if it closed, citing how: "The social care market continues to be unpredictable and unstable."
