| Annotation | Closing care homes can be a minefield, both in terms of distress caused to residents and staff and the legal issues involved. However, home owners can minimise these problems by careful planning and consultation. This article points to the requirements of the Care Homes Regulations for care home owners to disseminate information and their obligation to inform residents of the termination of their accommodation (also to those who are next of kin). Home owners should also revise any current literature, brochures, staff training and residency contracts to ensure that residents are not under the false expectation that they can stay there for ever.
