(b)that for reasons connected with their situation, construction, state of repair, accommodation, staffing, or equipment, the premises used or intended to be used for the purposes of the home, or any other premises used or intended to be used in connection with it, are not fit to be so used ; or

(c)that the way in which it is intended to carry on the home is such as not to provide services or facilities reasonably required.
