Original Consultation
A consultation on the potential transfer of residential care services from Tregerddan Residential Care Home to Hafan y Waun Care Home is currently underway, following Cabinet approval on 19 March 2024.
The aim of the consultation is to explore the views of residents and their families, staff and the wider community on the future of Tregerddan Care Home in Bow Street, and the opportunity to transfer the care provision to Hafan y Waun Care Home in Aberystwyth.
Following the Council’s decision to take ownership of Hafan y Waun Residential Care Home late 2023, there is an opportunity to restructure the residential care provision in the North County for the benefit of our current residents, and for the future.
The Council invites people to submit their views on delivering the plan. Please complete the online consultation.
