Care home goes into liquidation after suspension
GoogleA care home in Nottinghamshire that had its licence to operate suspended has been placed into liquidation.
An inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) found "concerns around safety, care planning and oversight" at The Firs Residential Care Home in Lowdham, leading to a three-month suspension and residents being moved out of the home.
A Companies House document showed liquidators from FRP Advisory Trading Limited were appointed on 29 April.
The care home has been contacted by the BBC for a comment.
Companies House documents from 24 April show the care home's summary of assets stood at £52,508.
The reduction of unpaid pension contributions, priority creditor payments and payments to the taxman resulted in £30,168 being left over.
A total of £125,476 was owed to the rest of the Firs' creditors, with this amount including £40,000 in remedial works on its site and £45,860 in unsecured employee claims.
The documents also showed nine residents who had lived in the home before it closed were owed thousands of pounds - with one owed £4,917.
A Nottinghamshire County Council spokesperson said: "We supported everyone living at The Firs Residential Care Home to make sure they had alternative homes and we will continue to support those impacted."
