“The main factor for the decision is the ever increasing difficulty with recruitment which is echoed throughout the country.

“We have worked very closely with the local authorities to ensure that all the residents have a suitable placement within the local community.”

Ladymead is a property that had been adapted to provide modern-day care facilities.

These included a spacious lounge and dining room, as well as a large enclosed garden.
