Ceredigion County Council has completed its takeover of Hafan y Waun Care Home in Aberystwyth.

The care home was one of 10 services offloaded by MHA as part of a restructuring programme announced in May.

Councillor Alun Williams, Ceredigion cabinet member for Through Age Wellbeing, Care and Support services, said: “We are delighted that Hafan y Waun Care Home is now officially one of the authority’s care homes. We thank MHA for their brilliant cooperation, ensuring a seamless exchange of ownership with minimal disruptions to residents, families, staff and the wider community.

“We look forward to maintaining the important services offered at Hafan y Waun Care Home – which is the county’s main dementia residential facility with capacity for 90 beds. Securing the future of this home was a key priority for us in Ceredigion to ensure that a valuable resource can continue for our county and communities.”

MHA chief executive Sam Monaghan said: “We are delighted to have secured a positive future for Hafan y Waun care home, so that provision of good quality care can be continued for older people locally. MHA extends our thanks and good wishes to residents, families and colleagues at the care home.”

Hafan y Waun Care Home has 90 en-suite bedrooms and four wings, which can be self-contained, as well as a large dementia friendly garden.

The council said its takeover supported its wellbeing objectives to create caring and healthy communities, and formed part of its Through Age Wellbeing programme.
