Maintain nursing bed provision on Pen Llŷn

We are calling on the Health Board and Welsh Government to ensure that we have nursing bed provision on Pen Llŷn

There are concerns about the future of Penrhos nursging home, following the news that the Polish Housing Society is intending to close the site by March 2021.

There are hopes that another organisation will take the site on, but doubts about the future of the nursing beds.

Penrhos has played an important part in the recent history of Pen Llŷn, and it's a nursing home for the people of Pen Llŷn.

There is no other nursing home on the peninsula, which means that people would have to travel to Cricieth, Porthmadog or further afield in order to have a place in another nursing home.There is a demand for nursing beds in Pen Llŷn.

It is the duty of the Health Board and Welsh Government to ensure that our needs are provided for. As the population gets older and our health needs more complex, the damend for nursing care increases.

We call on the Welsh Government and Health Board to work together and ensure that nurse bed provision continues here in Pen Llŷn.

I’m from the Pen Llyn. My mum was lucky enough to be looked after in Penrhos for the last few years of her life. Finding such wonderful care so close to home was invaluable. Having advanced dementia meant that long visits were not worthwhile bit being close to home, my dad and brother were able to pop in and visit everyday. The Llyn is small and most of the staff are local. Having someone you have known all of your life look after a loved one makes such a difference, especially as i was not in the country to be able to visit her for myself. Taking away the home will impact residents and families in such a negative way. Please keep it open.

This facility should be preserved and the residents protected, so that they remain cared for within their community and retain their dignity, without fear of eviction.

With an increasing aged population this appers to be a shortsighted move which will cause mor problems in the longterm for a short term apparent gain.

Nid yn unig mae cau Y Cartref Pwyliaid yn gam a’r preswylwyr presennol, ond hefyd a’r gymuned ehangach. Beth am yr holl sydd yn ddibynol am eu gwaith yna? Mae’r gofal a ddarperir yna yn amrhisiadwy. Mae yn Safle mor arbennig o heddychlon.
