Over 50 elderly residents at risk as closure of well-loved Stoke care home branded “shocking and dangerous” by care workers union.

The announcement this week by care company HC One that they plan to permanently close Stoke’s Stadium Court care home has met with widespread condemnation from care unions, resident families and staff.

The care home on Greyhound Way currently employers around 80 local people and cares for upwards of 50 vulnerable and elderly residents.
