The Cheviot Rest Home s owner said the closure had been forced by a combination of factors, but a key one was the Ministry of Health s broken funding system for rest homes.
The rest home has 14 beds, and for most of its 20 years of operation it had been full or close to, with a waiting list at times.
For the last six months the home has only had five residents, and with the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) only paying for occupied beds, owner Sue Coleman said they could not afford to stay open.
