HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!
The legal process to save Bowles Lodge is over but the spirit of Bowles Lodge lives on!
- John Porter
- This blog is about a campaign I led to prevent Lancashire County Council closing the care home my Mum lived in. We lost our case in the High Court but decision-makers at local and national level were made aware of the devastating consequences of moving elderly people - no matter how carefully it is done. Mum was moved and, sadly, died eight months later. The blog is dedicated to her precious memory. Love you Mum.
This is Vera, my mum

Another resident dies
Millie was a lovely lady who celebrated her 100th birthday this year. I noticed she was not in the lounge when I visited my mum last week. Mum said yesterday "I'll miss Millie, she was my friend... we had a laugh together".
Two other residents I spoke with yesterday also said how sad they were that Millie had died.
This is the third resident that has died at Bowles Lodge since the consultation began.
A former resident who moved out of Bowles Lodge to another home once the consultation was announced died shortly afterwards.
