This property was sold September 14th 1998 for £355,000 so I am assuming it was turned into Dannah House Nursing Home after this date and opened thereafter..Dannah was refused a license in 2009 by Council officials who carried out a 25 point inspection,but failed all but five points.The residents were moved out shortly after and the building has remained in a derelict state ever since.I found an application to demolish the building and erect a two storey 32 bed care home..this was in 2011,so I assume that permission was refused.I have found the following information listing details of what Dannah offered:
Dannah House is a private residential care home offering accommodation and personal care for up to twenty-four service users over the age of 65 years that require care through old age including people in need of dementia care.
The Home:
The accommodation consists of one double and 22 single bedrooms, 6 of which are provided with en-suite facilities. Service users' bedrooms are located on the ground and first floor levels. Bedrooms on the first floor can be reached by use of a stair lift. These rooms are only suitable for people who do not have problems with mobility or have dementia care needs. In addition there is an open plan lounge/dining room and a conservatory, plus a laundry room. All service users can be registered with the local Health Centre.
The Costs
As at November 2006, the fees determined after an assesment has taken place typically vary between £350 and £450 per week.
I took a rough gander round after dark and after several beers and produced these awful pictures,but at least they show how poor old Dannah has declined.Paid another visit during the day this time to see what I missed..pretty much everything!!!
