Castlebeck, the company at the centre of a BBC-exposed scandal into physical abuse and neglect at one of its care homes, has gone into administration.
Eleven care workers admitted a total of 38 charges last year after they were secretly filmed abusing patients at Winterbourne View near Bristol.
Administrators Grant Thornton have been brought in to manage the process.
All 214 residents across 20 UK sites will still receive care from Castlebeck while a buyer is found, says the firm.
Trinity House (operated by Castlebeck) is a 13-bed residential home for adults with learning disabilities and associated complex needs including mental health problems, which offers care and support in a structured and therapeutic environment. It includes a self-contained two-bedroom flat which is beneficial for those making the move towards more independent living. The home is supported by specialist learning disability nurses and mental health nurses with easy access to appropriate clinical and therapeutic specialist support including psychiatry, psychology, occupational and speech and language therapies.
David Mundell MP comment: “When it comes to the provision of this kind of care sadly it is always the most vulnerable members of society who are affected.
This is obviously difficult and distressing news for residents their families and staff.
“What we need at this time is all the necessary reassurances that the highest possible standard of care will be maintained until another operator is found.
“I will continue to monitor the situation and anyone affected can contact my office for assistance.”
