WW2 Hero ‘dismissed’ by thoughtless Sefton Council closure plans at Brookdale Centre
Click here to enlarge top photo.
The following tale forms just one example of how outrageous council closure plans can shatter the lives of our most vulnerable citizens.
The Brookdale Resource Centre is situated in Aindsale, Southport in the UK. This delightful little facility is a day-care centre that is the only one in the area that specialises in the care of dementia and Alzheimer’s sufferers. Elderly residents at the centre feel safe and regard it as a second home and love the place.
The following story is just one small illustration of how selfish councils, driven by greed, can ruin lives of others.
WAR HERO DISMISSED BY CRUEL COUNCIL!
Brookdale Resource Centre resident, Albert Hooley, is 91 years old. He was awarded Citizen of Honour of the City of Liverpool as a World War 2 veteran.
Albert served in the Royal Navy as a deep sea diver unwinding ropes attached to mines that had caught in the propellers of the destroyers.
He served aboard HMS Tartar.
Albert has Alzheimer’s and mixed dementia and attends the Brookdale 5 days a week where he is treated with kindness, dignity and the respect he truly deserves.
Sefton Council’s ill-considered and cruel proposals to close down the Brookdale Centre directly affect heroes like Albert, who deserve much better than this.
BROOKDALE – A SMALL EXAMPLE OF A ‘CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE’ TO MEET A SET HIDDEN AGENDA
Brookdale’s unique service has, it seems, been left as a well-kept secret by Sefton Council after campaigners recently discovered that various local dementia and Alzheimer’s groups had never even ‘heard’ of this specialist and centrally located facility.
The official idea seems to be to give the ‘impression’ that numbers of residents are low in the facility so why not close it!
Naturally, if people have never ‘heard’ of the place they cannot be expected to utilise its specialist and exclusive help.
Please support our ongoing campaign to save the Brookdale.
Please sign our petition against closure; your support could help us to make a difference to brave people like Albert:
