Readers will be aware of the national situation with Southern Cross Care Homes which is in the process of transferring its homes to alternative providers due to the company’s financial position.
There is one Southern Cross home in Peterborough, Astoria Park and readers will be pleased to know that on the 30 September a safe and smooth transfer of the management of the home was made to local care provider, Park Vista.
The company runs several local homes and has received external awards for the quality of its services.
