A Plymouth care home where rooms could cost up to almost £1,000 a week has gone into liquidation after blaming the Covid pandemic and staff shortages for forcing its closure.
The Oasis Care Home, in Plymstock, shut in January 2022 and an online meeting of creditors was called for February 16 when it was decided to voluntarily wind up the company. Liquidators at Plymouth accountants Mark Holt & Co have now been appointed by creditors to close down The Oasis Care Home Ltd.
The company’s bosses blamed "intolerable pressures" caused by the coronavirus pandemic, and a lack of staff, for the firm’s demise, stressing they had “no option” but to close.
