Nicola Richards, the director of Palms Row Health Care, which ran Newfield Nursing Home, said: “We are heartbroken to have to close a good home. This week she told us: “It’s been an incredibly tough year for us all, seeing the home close was especially sad. I thought I was going to be there until I retired.”Kayleigh added: “The Government needs to work out a plan so care homes are supported a lot better. MPs on the Health and Social Care Committee described the care system as “unfair, confusing, demeaning and ­frightening”. “We know there is a need for a long-term solution for social care and are looking at a range of proposals.”
