A care home in Merstham has blamed Brexit as one of the reasons it’s closing down.

Chaldon Rise, run by Care Unlimited, looked after adults with dementia and learning disabilities since 1987 but has now shut down due to a lack of funding.

It says the vote to leave the EU and the advanced English speaking course for foreign workers has meant there’s a lack of nurses entering the profession.  It also adds that recruiting is expensive and agencies have pushed staff costs to an unsustainable level.
