The operator of a Nottinghamshire care home has pulled out, leaving the future of its residents and staff uncertain. Methodist Homes (MHA) has decided to withdraw from Queenswood Residential Care Home, between Chilwell and Beeston, as it can no longer "support" the Cliffgrove Avenue site.
Queenswood, which can house up to 41 elderly residents for long-term or respite care, will operate as normal until a new buyer can be found. But if a new operator is not sourced, MHA, a charity set up 80 years ago by Methodists, said it " can’t rule out" the possibility of closure.
In a blog post, chief executive Sam Monaghan outlined the details of the change - which comes as part of the operator's withdrawal for nine other of the 88 care homes the charity operates across the country - and how it will impact residents and staff. He said: "When a buyer is found, the new owner will take responsibility for the home, including residents and colleagues.
