:00:40. > :00:42.the home will close on Friday. Five Acres Nursing Home was put up

:01:03. > :01:08.are in limbo once again. They have got to be
:01:09. > :01:12.the first concern. I know the council is working hard

:01:21. > :01:23.the council has worked extremely hard to try to see if there is any
:01:24. > :01:26.way of keeping this open and I do not think
:01:27. > :01:28.they can be blamed today. Five Acres was branded inadequate

:01:54. > :01:56.with Alzehimer's told me they thought about taking her out
:01:57. > :01:58.of the home last year. But didn't because they thought
:01:59. > :02:02.its future was secure. Now they're worried
:02:03. > :02:09.she might not survive a move. Age Concern fears the closure
:02:10. > :02:14.could be the thin end of the wedge. I think we are going to see more
:02:15. > :02:17.and more crises like this because of the problems
:02:18. > :02:19.there are in the care There is financial pressure on local
:02:20. > :02:23.authorities who place about 50% of people into care
:02:24. > :02:27.to bring their costs down. Care homes are then trying
