Centrum Care Homes Group has acquired Moors Park House in Devon, saving the home from closure and rebranding it as Estuary View.
Moors Park House was rated Inadequate by the CQC and was at serious risk of closing after a notice of decision was issued. With the support of local authorities and the previous provider, Centrum Care Homes Group was invited to acquire the home and lead its recovery.
Centrum Care Homes Group will invest more £150,000 into the renamed Estuary View, funding refurbishments, training, and the introduction of new systems. The top floor, which had to be closed under the previous provider due to regulatory issues, will reopen in September, restoring the home to its full capacity.
Tushar Shah and Mehul Shah, co-founders of Centrum Care Homes Group, said: “When we learned this home was at risk, we knew we had to step in. The thought of residents being uprooted and losing their home, and staff losing their livelihoods, was unthinkable. Instead, we have given the home a new identity as Estuary View, and we are fully committed to bringing it back to life. We will invest in its people, its infrastructure and its spirit so that it can once again be a place the community is proud of.”
Suzanne Gatrell, operations manager for Centrum Care Homes Group and acting registered manager at Estuary View, said: “This home had lost its way, but it had not lost its heart. It has always been part of the community, and we are determined to make it something the community can be proud of again. The team has embraced the changes, families have supported us, and we are already seeing improvements – better care, a stronger team, and a real sense of pride returning to the home.”
