ALL INVOLVED – not least the staff and residents’ relatives – will be pleased that Auchinlee has been saved for a year.
The care home’s reprieve does nothing to lessen the need for further solutions in Kintyre, though. Apparently there is a waiting list for Auchinlee but no new residents will be admitted.
As the baby boomer generation ages and many live much longer than their parents, there may be an increased demand for care home space, although it seems the plan is to keep people in the community as long as possible.
