From the administrators' statement
The Company operates Urmston Cottage Care Home (“Urmston Cottage” or “the Home") from owned premises at Greenfield Avenue, Urmston, Manchester, M41 OXN_ In November 2009, after a number of years of successful trading, concerns were raised regarding the safety and wellbeing of the residents which led to the resignation of the registered Manager Inspections from the Care Quality Commission (“CQC") took place in March and June 2010 which concluded that management had not sufficiently dealt with concerns previously raised As a result, an embargo was placed on referrals
The last CQC inspection took place in March 2011 and the review of compliance indicates that the provider ts now compliant with all sixteen of the outcomes reviewed and all key essential standards most directly related to quality and safety However, previous inspections and negative press have had a significantly damaging effect on trade which has led to a greatly reduced occupancy during 2011
The financial position of the Home meant that trading could only be sustained if equity was Injected to finance the trading losses As the business was no longer assessed as viable, RSM Tenon were approached with a view to putting Urmston Cottage into administration On 5 September 2011, both Dilip K Dattani and | were appointed by the Board of Directors as Joint Administrators of the Company The appointment permitted the Joint Administrators to take any actions required either jointly or alone
