Consultation has concluded

Under the Care Act 2014 Gloucestershire County Council has the responsibility to meet the needs of people eligible for care and to shape the local care market to encourage quality, choice, and sufficiency of provision. This includes people who pay for their own care.

Over the last five years we have transformed the way we deliver adult social care; with the focus shifting to support people to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. As a result, demand for care home places is falling across the county as more people are being supported to stay in their own homes.

To support and stabilise the care home market we are consulting on the proposed closure of four homes within the Gloucestershire Care Partnership:

  • Bohanam House, Gloucester
  • Orchard House, Bishops Cleeve, Tewkesbury
  • The Elms, Stonehouse Stroud
  • Westbury Court, Westbury, Forest of Dean

We’d like to hear your views on these proposed closures.
