From the administrators' statement
Rosepost Healthcare Ltd was incorporated in 1996 by Mr & Mrs Owen Both directors had previous expenence in the care industry
The Company initially owned one residential care home called Choice Care Home (Choice) which traded successfully for a number of years Then in 2007 the Company purchased a second home called Southboume Care Home (Southboume) Both care homes are situated next door to each other in Babbacombe
The Company suffered with staffing difficulties in the Southbourne home which resulted in the rating for the home being downgraded by the Care Quality Commission (‘CQC’) to “Adequate” which impacted on the occupancy rates In 2009, Southbourne had further staffing issues which resulted in the care home being downgraded further to “Poor” Cash flow became very tight as the rating severely affected occupancy levels because Torbay Council stopped referring residents to the home Mr Owen subsequently took over the day to day running of the home and a subsequent inspection by the CQC upgraded the rating back to “adequate” and the local council re-commissioned the home for new referrals
