Dementia Care Home Closure Confirmed

The closure of the New Tyne care home, located in Worthing, is scheduled to commence this Monday. West Sussex County Council confirmed the final decision to shut down the facility last month. The home currently provides accommodation for 12 residents living with dementia.

The council's health and adult social care scrutiny committee has now upheld the original decision to close the facility. This confirmation follows a review that considered feedback from a consultation period, which was initially unavailable when the plan was first assessed.

With the decision finalized, arrangements will now be made to relocate the 12 residents to alternative accommodations. The closure marks the end of services at the New Tyne care home.
