Cash for study on impact of home closures
A Swansea University research project into the effects of care home closures
in Wales
has been given a £130,000 funding boost, the South Wales Evening Post reports.
The research will study the implications of care home closures, and closely examine the effects of relocation on the health and wellbeing of the older people involved.
The money for the 18-month project has come from the National Institute for Social Care and Health Research.
Vanessa Burholt, director of the Centre for Innovative Ageing at Swansea University, said: "The closure of care homes is an emotional topic for those affected, and therefore the research will also identify the impact of closure on the wellbeing of older people, their relatives and carers.
