Call You and Yours: Have you or a relative had to find a new care home?
You and Yours
A record number of care home businesses failed last year. In 2017, 148 were declared insolvent - up 83 per cent on the previous year.
Have you, a relative or friend been forced to move on from a care home for any reason? How easy or difficult was that?
We want to hear your story.
Email youandyours@bbc.co.uk and don't forget to leave a phone number so we can call you back.
From 11 am on Tuesday 15th May call us on 03700 100444

I know people on here have had and are having this happen to them currently, so Radio 4, 12.15 tomorrow there's a phone in about it for anyone with first hand experience either because the home has closed or any other reason. I would suspect homes closing and homes kicking someone out for challenging behaviour are two different things when it comes to finding a new home.
Interesting care home closures were up last year by 83% due to insolvency when people on here are always talking about how profitable they are. If each home had 30 beds that's 4,440 beds lost in one year alone.
