NOTICE OF MOTION To consider the following Notice of Motion (6 /24 ), submitted by Councillor Kemp
Saving Burman House Care Home
Norfolk residents rate exceptionally highly, the care, compassion and commitment of all the Norsecare staff, who run Burman House Dementia Care Home. Our residents are pleading with their Borough Councillors, to do all we can, to save Burman House from impending closure by the County Council company Norse.
The closure of Burman House could see the loss of up to 30 local jobs, and worsen the shortage of Care Home, Respite and Convalescent beds in West Norfolk, placing additional pressure on the QEH.
Burman House, in Terrington St John, is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission. The residents benefit from the lovely gardens next to their rooms, which are all on the ground floor, in their unique rural setting.
Burman House is owned by Norfolk County Council which has contracts with NorseCare.
This Council will therefore write to Norfolk County Council to ask it to intervene and permanently halt the closure of Burman House.
It is understood that a reason given for closure, is the dimensions of the rooms. So the addition of modular bathroom extensions to each room, or other appropriate investment could be made. It is understood that some residents are being planned to move to other NorseCare Homes, where the rooms are no bigger. This Council is aware a Care Home closure should only be a last resort as it causes such needless distress to residents. Our residents deserve better.
