A Plymouth care home which collapsed into liquidation blaming the Covid pandemic and staff shortages for forcing its closure has left debts of more than half a million pounds - most of it owed to former staff.
The Oasis Care Home, in Plymstock, shut in January 2022 and now documents filed at Companies House reveal creditors are claiming £604,997 in unpaid debts. But it is estimated by insolvency practitioners that, with only about £20,000 in recoverable assets, £587,848 will remain outstanding.
The vast majority of this debt - £363,481 - is owed to 37 former workers, representing £123,718 in unpaid wages and holiday pay, and £219,013 in redundancy payments, claims for notice pay, and other wage claims.
