'It feels like doomsday'

Disabled woman only resident in 50-room care unit after closure

- MARTIN FRICKER

A DISABLED woman is the only resident living in a 50-room care home after it closed down, leaving her with nowhere else to go.

Jackie Kennedy, 53, moved into the Blue Ribbon assisted living complex in January 2023 after being diagnosed with a string of chronic health issues.

She has a damaged spine that restricts her movement and suffers from spondylitis and fibromyalgia.

Despite enjoying a new lease of life in the sheltered housing in Coventry, bosses decided to close it last year.

The other residents moved into alternative accommodation but Jackie refused to leave.
