Good evening. First tonight, the families who have just four weeks to | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
find new care home places for their loved ones. Relatives were told last | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
week that the company behind two nursing homes in Northampton has | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
gone into administration. There are now concerns about what will happen | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
to the elderly residents at the cedar`wood and Redruth homes if a | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
buyer can't be found. Stuart Ratcliffe reports. Frances has been | :00:36. | :00:59. | |
cleared for here since 2012, care that she says has been at the | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
highest standard. From day one, I had been made to feel at hole and I | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
have had absolutely fantasthc care. The care that I have had has been, | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
just the slightest thing is that it has done for me, I am helped in | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
every way that I want to be helped. And the news is that it is closing | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
has been greeted with shock and disbelief but only by the other | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
residents but also by their families. She's 80 years of age she | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
knows everybody, they are lhke family and friends, and all of a | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
sudden, you are uprooted and you have to try and settle in somewhere | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
else. When you are older it is not the same. Across town, it is the | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
same situation in the cedar`wood nursing home. This woman is worried | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
about how she will find a ndw home for her husband. The nursing homes | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
are not there for these people to go to because they need nursing 24 7, | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
and it is just not there. The Council 's problems began when the | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
Care Quality Commission raised concerns about the local holes, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
which meant that no new reshdents could be registered, meaning fewer | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
patients, making the business unviable. Today, the administrators | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
have said that their priority is now to make sure that the needs of the | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
residents are prioritised and handled in the most sensitive and | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
professional manner possibld. There is not great swathes of card home | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
provision is out there, it hs something we are going to h`ve to | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
manage and manage carefully and it will take a period of time to do | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
that in a sensitive manner that we wish to follow. People need a good | :02:23. | :02:39. | |
quality of care. If no buyer for these homes is fine, they whll close | :02:40. | :02:57. | |
within a month. ``is found.. Earlier Ian Turner from the Registered | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
Nursing Home Association cale into the studio. I began by asking him | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
how difficult the situation is for both the families and residdnts It | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
can be very damaging and upsetting to all those concerned and to the | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
relatives, of course. For pdople who are living with in the later stages | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
of dementia, it can be extrdmely dramatic. The long`term memory will | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
still be the that the short`term memory will be almost nonexhstent so | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
they will not remember wherd they actually do live so to move them | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
into a different environment is dramatically them. How much | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
responsibility does the loc`l authority have in finding | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
alternative accommodation? Ly experience is that they bent over | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
backwards to make sure everxone is placed appropriately. That `lso | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
applies to people who are bding privately funded. What advice would | :04:00. | :04:09. | |
you give to relatives and rdsidents? I would say tops of the loc`l | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
authority, talk to the officers and the members and make sure that they | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
Care Quality Commission knows their views. The decapitated body of a | :04:22. | :04:39. | |
swan and three severed swan heads have been discovered by a l`ke in | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Milton Keynes. The local angling club fears it may be the result of a | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
series of attacks carried ott by someone using a knife. The RSPCA has | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
started an investigation. Ott by someone using a knife. The RSPCA has | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
started an investigation. I was walking around couple of wedks ago, | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
and this is where we found the first severed head here. That was the | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
first four gruesome discoveries in the past month. Stephen, an officer | :05:04. | :05:20. | |
at the angling club, has discovered three severed heads and one body. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Somebody has taken the head clean off, because no animal was taken. It | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
looks like a pure, clean cut, so I believe it has been taken for food | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
or maybe somebody's idea of a sick joke. This is where the dec`pitated | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
body was found, and we have been given pictures of the swans, but | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
they are too graphic and distressing to broadcast. The RSPCA says that | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
most cases like this are natural cause by other predators, and they | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
confirmed that the RSPCA wotld be looking into these attacks, but | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
until they have seen the bodies they cannot comment on the exact cause of | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
death. The area is popular with anglers, parents and childrdn and | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
since then, patrols have increased. You would not want any child to see | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
it, because it would be verx distressing, like it would be for | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
anyone. If someone actually comes across somebody doing this, what can | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
actually happen if they are disturbed? You can see just how tame | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
these swans are here, and it is against the law to kill or hnjure | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
them and it carries a maximtm fine of ?5,000 and up to six months in | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
prison. Anybody with inform`tion is asked to contact the RSPCA. The | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Green party has launched its campaign in the region todax, ahead | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
of the European elections. Lembers gathered in Cambridge to reveal its | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
manifesto. The party came close to winning a seat last time rotnd. It | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
hopes public dissatisfaction with the main Westminster parties means | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
it'll succeed this time. Th`t's all from the late team. Time to get the | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
weather now with Alex Dolan. There could be some messed patches | :06:46. | :07:07. | |
early tomorrow morning. ``some mist patches. It will be quite w`rm | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
tomorrow with highs of 70 ddgrees at 18 degrees. Then we have a weak | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
weather front moving in frol the west and for most of us it will not | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
arrive till after nightfall. It will be a cloudy afternoon with patchy | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
rain moving in from the west. On Thursday, earlier rain will clear | :07:30. | :07:30. | |
and largely dry on is not looking too bad. That's | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
weather front. It is never too early to think about | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
next weekend and I will be doing that in a couple of minutes. But we | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
have a sizeable chunk of this week's whether to go first. There | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
are more showers, but there will be spells of warm sunshine around as | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
well, so there will be no frost at night. Bands of showers across the | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
western side of the UK and Scotland's passing through | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
overnight. Another heavy burst coming into the | :08:11. | :08:11. |
