Four care homes have been rescued after being in administration for almost a year.
The four Camelot Healthcare homes, which are located in Cheltenham, have been released from insolvency by their new owner, United Care group.
The 80 residents across the four homes will be able to remain where they are, while the 60 employees’ positions are also saved.
At the time of being appointed to the business the administrators at PKF said they were committed to keeping the 80 places in operation and to keep its standards high. Krissimon Care was hired to run the homes until a buyer could be found.
Kerry Bailey, from PKF, had said the homes will remain open and trading, with the aim of improving the services.
The director and owner of United Care, Brian Owen, told This is Gloucestershire, “Since taking responsibility for the management of the Camelot Healthcare homes in June 2012, significant inroads have been made to upgrade the homes and create a boutique style care home.”
Operations manager Amanda Rushbury commented: “Coming out of administration has helped lift a black cloud from over our heads. From the staff and residents’ point of view it is a very positive thing.
“The reason that Camelot Healthcare went into administration was because a care home in the north was performing poorly. It’s like a pack of cards – if one falls then the rest of them will tumble.”
