'Difficult decision' to close West Bridgford care home over staffing issues and rising costs

The owners of a West Bridgford care home have announced its closure, citing problems with recruitment and the increasing cost of living. MPS Care Group said directors had made the "very difficult" decision to shut Adbolton Hall, situated in Adbolton Lane.

The group, which owns six other care homes across England, including Highfields in Bulwell, said Abolton Hall was struggling with employing suitable staff and the increasing costs of agency staff and bills. "Heat, light and power and the increasing cost of living are placing additional strains and sadly we are now in the position of being unable to sustain the service," said a spokesperson.

The provider added that the home had 19 residents, who are being moved to the Bulwell care home which remained unaffected. MPS said it was working closely with Nottinghamshire County Council, which has allocated a social worker to all care home residents to help them settle in a new home.
