Our loved ones, our friends, our family reside at Laburnum Court Care Home in Salford. This is their last home, a place they have come to know and love. With dementia affecting many of them, familiarity is key - they recognize their building, the staff who care for them daily and even the food they eat. The proposed closure of this facility by its owner threatens to disrupt this familiarity and stability.

The owner's refusal to sell the property to other care providers means that residents will be relocated far from their current home - some as far as Wales or Scotland. This move not only uproots our loved ones but also significantly reduces family visitations due to distance.

According to Alzheimer's Society UK, changes in living environment can cause increased confusion and worsen symptoms for those living with dementia (Alzheimer's Society UK). It is crucial that we prevent such unnecessary distress for these vulnerable individuals.

We call upon local authorities and health departments to intervene in this matter urgently. We need your help in ensuring that Laburnum Court remains open or alternatively sold off only to another care provider who will continue its operation locally.

Please sign this petition today; help us protect our loved ones' right to live out their days with dignity and comfort at Laburnum Court Care Home.
