Connolly House is safe. The council reversed the decision to close our doors. Thank you for making this victory possible.

Connolly House is South Tyneside's only dedicated dementia facility and was recently awarded three star excellent rating by the Care Quality Commission. As such it is a flagship institution within the authority and should be nurtured and valued, not closed.
It's difficult to know why Connolly House has been considered for closure, it is full, usually with a waiting list, and very highly appreciated in the borough for its work in assisting sufferers and their families with this random, totally debilitating and increasingly prevalent disease.
We are aware of the financial pressures on the council and believe considerable reductions could be made in current and projected capital and running cost expenditure. We would like to see the present excellent management given much greater financial control, and this increased autonomy is supervised by a voluntary, unpaid governing body of relatives of patients.

Ridiculous decision. Why close the one place that actually works and has a waiting list? madness.
My uncle is a resident here and he is finally happy after years of struggling elsewhere. Dont take this away from him.
We need this place in south tyneside. Stop cutting corners where our elderly are concerned.
This makes me so angry. Its a 3 star facility!! Keep it open!!
My mum was there and the care was outstanding. You cant just shut down the only place that actually treats these people with dignity.
