A CARER at a care centre set to be closed down by Bury Council has started a petition to fight the decision. Spurr House, a short-term respite care centre in Unsworth, is set to be closed down as part of a controversial council plan to save £13m in Bury s adult social care budget. Krisilia O Neill, a care assistant at Spurr House, spoke out against the proposals earlier this month, saying it may save the council money in the short-term, but costing more in the long-term. A consultation was held by the council, in which it was concluded that the centre was to be closed down, due to government budget cuts.
STAFF at an under-threat care centre have spoken out amid controversial plans to save £12m from the borough’s adult social budget. Council bosses said in May the short stay care home Spurr House, in Unsworth, would close, while Elmhurst, in Whitefield, would remain. Elsewhere Pinfold Lane day centre would shut, with Grundy day centre, in Bury, providing extra spaces. And there are proposals to create an ‘all-age disability service’, councillors have been told. Short stay care is where customers live up to six weeks at a time, as a break from their normal place of care, to give carers or family members a break from caring or because a person may need some short term support in order to recover.
