Two care homes in Cardiff could be set to close after seeing a significant fall in the number of residents in their care. A joint statement from Cartref Care Homes and Cardiff Council has revealed that a period of talks will open on proposals to close Cartref's Station Road care home in Llanishen and its Lake Road East home in Roath.
The statement says that a series of sustained challenges experienced by Cartref has seen occupancy levels fall to 50%, making the running of their homes very difficult. Both care homes will remain open until the process of exploring their futures is complete.
The joint statement from Cartref and Cardiff Council states: "Cartref is a respected Charity which offers an affordable, yet excellent provision for residents and has successfully operated two care homes in Cardiff for seven decades. Due to a number of factors, Cartref has experienced a series of sustained challenges resulting in occupancy levels having falling to 50%. This significant fall in the number of residents has made the running of the home very difficult.
