Perhaps the Trustees need some serious professional advice on how to continue this valuable community environment before its too late.

They take years to build up and provide a vital service to those who cannot live independently but can still enjoy a useful and happy life. Not everything should be based on economics especially as this kind of thinking is short sighted and will lead to far greater expense when finding alternative and less satisfactory living accomodation and services for people with disabilities. Save the care villages.

Please do not close any but bring them up to date; put more thought & money into them; some people either have no family to help, or only members of the family who can no longer cope with looking after them.
