A SHARP drop in rental income has forced the proposed closure of Moorside care home. St John’s Winchester Charity says reduced income from its Winchester High Street properties, worsened by Covid, makes Moorside unsustainable. Roger Bright, chairman of the board of trustees, said in the financial year 2020/21 rents dropped from £1.45m to £1m. Running costs of Moorside were £1.96m but income from the NHS, county council and private-paying residents was only £1.17m leaving St John’s to find a subsidy of £880,000, up from £740,000 the year before. Mr Bright said: “We have the situation where there are high costs of running Moorside at a time when our rental income is shrinking. With much heartache we have concluded this isn’t sustainable in the medium or long term.”
ST JOHN’S Winchester wants to close its specialist dementia care home Moorside in Winchester city centre. The charity has announced a consultation to shut the home and use the building for other uses, as reported in the Chronicle last week. St John s says it will seek the views of resident representatives and families,and staff, starting on May 10 to finish by mid-June. Moorside, situated on Durngate only opened in 1996 but has become unsuitable for modern care, says the charity. Chairman of trustees Roger Bright, in a statement, said: “After considerable thought and discussion, with great regret we have concluded in principle that providing dementia care at Moorside is not viable in the medium and long term.
