Campaigners have launched a petition in a bid to stop the closure of an Orpington care home.
The extra care housing scheme, which has 30 flats for the elderly with 24-hour onsite staff, is run by Affinity Sutton in partnership with Bromley Council.
The petition has received 180 signatures since its launch yesterday.
Radiographer Lindsey Park, whose 85-year-old mother Jean Bannerman lives at Lubbock House, said: "They say they have extra care spaces elsewhere but these people are very old.
"They don’t want to move. What will happen to the people with no relatives?”
In a joint statement, the council and Affinity Sutton said: "Affinity Sutton has considered in depth the future of Lubbock House and has concluded that it no longer meets modern standards and aspirations.
"If a decision is made to decommission the property as an extra care housing scheme, the council’s care management team and Affinity Sutton will work closely with residents and their families to ensure minimum inconvenience is caused and that residents’ future accommodation and care needs are fully met."
