Eight care homes are to be shut down or sold off in Leicester, the city council has announced.
The decision was made after falling numbers of residents and a move towards demand for home-based care pushed the council to consider alternatives.
The sites affected provide care for over 160 elderly residents, although they could house 282 at full capacity. The homes are to be shut or sold off over the next three years. Three homes – Elizabeth House in New Parks, Herrick Lodge in Leicester and Nuffield House in Westcotes - will be closed this year.
A further two - Abbey House in Leicester and Cooper House in Eyres Monsell - are to be sold in 2013/14. If this move is considered a success then another pair of homes – Arbor House in Evington and Thurn Court in Thurnby Lodge - will be sold in 2015/16, while Preston Lodge could be closed - it has yet to be decided.
Some of the homes have seen a decline in the number of elderly living in them and are more costly to operate than sites run by independent care home operators.
Councillor Rita Patel said that 350 care organisations had shown “limited interest” when approached to garner their interest.
