Relatives of residents in a Huddersfield care home are to fight plans for its partial closure.
They are concerned that elderly people with dementia will be badly hurt by the decision to close a unit for them at Abbey Place care home in Abbey Road, Fartown.
The families have been given just a month to try and find new places for their relatives who live at the home.
A number of staff including care-workers are also set to lose their jobs in November.
Care home officials say the nursing dementia unit will close because the fees are insufficient to maintain care.
Now relatives are planning to meet in Huddersfield to lodge objections.
The meeting will take place at 1pm on Sunday, November 2, at The Harp in Bradford Road, Fartown.
A spokesman for the families said: “We are all opposed to the shutdown of the unit.
“The people who live there are suffering from dementia and any upheaval like this at their time of life can be very harmful.
“We are also concerned that staff who do a great job are to lose their jobs.
“The meeting will look at what we can do to try and stop the closure going ahead”.
