The Council previously presented to Cabinet
the recommendation to build Council owned care homes with a
commissioned provider to deliver the care. The purpose of the care
homes was to increase affordable nursing care capacity for older
people in our communities who can no longer live independently at
home. This cabinet item is to re-visit these recommendations
following the impact of the pandemic on the Staffordshire care home
market. The item will evaluate the initial recommendations and
conclude with a recommendation on whether to or not proceed with
the build of Council owned care homes.
