Dumfries and Galloway Care Home closure proved "traumatic, distressing and heartbreaking" for residents

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The closure of a care home provided to be “very traumatic, distressing and heart breaking” for the old folk living there. Singleton Park Care Home was shut at the end of 2021 after its registration was suspended due to care concerns.

It was briefly taken over by the council but after no alternative care provider came forward, they had to find homes for the 33 residents there.

The 2021/22 annual performance report for Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership reveals that the majority of staff “did not want to leave their jobs despite having been through an extremely stressful time”.

They had hoped a new provider would be found and they could keep their jobs. Of those who found alternative employment, some have now left the health and social care sector.
