Dr Ron Culley, Quarriers CEO, said: “Quarriers has announced the difficult decision to close the Rivendell service in Quarriers Village.
“Like many social care providers, we continue to face challenges in recruiting the staff needed to sustain the high standard of support that people rightly expect and deserve.
“Our priority is the safety, dignity, and well-being of the people we support. We are working closely with local authorities and families to secure suitable alternative accommodation.
“We offer heartfelt apologies for the disruption this will cause to the people we support and their families. We will engage in regular updates to families and stakeholders to ensure they remain fully informed.
“Quarriers does not foresee any staff losses in relation to this closure. Our dedicated workforce will continue to deliver essential care and support across our wider services.”
