Gloucestershire County Council decided last month to close the short-term reablement unit on Millbrook Street, deeming it surplus to current requirements. This facility had provided residential care for patients transitioning from hospital but has stood vacant since March. Council officials explained that the care model previously offered no longer aligns with the evolving needs of both the council and the health service.
