It is with regret that Mission Care is announcing today that it is planning to close Morton House nursing home in Lewisham.
Mission Care is a Christian charity established in 1904 and currently provides residential and nursing care for more than 250 residents across its six homes. Morton House is currently home to 22 older people.
“This has been a very difficult decision for the Board of Mission Care given the legacy of care that has been provided in Lewisham by Morton House; however its financial situation is no longer sustainable for the charity. The Board and senior management have spent several months considering alternative solutions but unfortunately continuing to operate the home in the current economical climate is no longer tenable,” explains Jonathan Crisp, Executive Director of Mission Care.
