Castlebeck to close third care home

Troubled care provider Castlebeck will close its third home, ahead of CQC legal action.

Troubled care provider Castlebeck is to close its third home since a BBC Panorama documentary revealing abuse in a Bristol centre triggered investigations into all 23 of its sites.

Arden Vale in Meriden ,Solihull, which like Winterbourne View near Bristol, - the centre featured in the expose – provides care for adults with learning disabilities, will cease operating next Thursday ahead of legal action, having been unable to prove it could make improvements demanded.
