Four care homes which went to court over the fees Pembrokeshire County Council was paying them for caring for elderly residents have won their case in the High Court in Cardiff today (December 21).

The council will now have to pay higher fees for residents at four private care homes, following the judge’s ruling.

The care homes – Pen-coed care home in Saundersfoot,
Langton Hall in Fishguard, Woodfield in Narberth and Woodland Lodge, in
Tenby – argued that the fees they were being paid were unsustainable.

The court ordered Pembrokeshire council to review the £390 a week it pays for each resident it funds.
