Brian Adam, MSP for Aberdeen Donside, has welcomed the guarantee from Argus Care Group that care will not be interrupted after the company announced it had gone into administration.
The company operate the Jesmond Care Home in Bridge of Don, in his constituency. Mr Adam will write to Aberdeen City Council and the Scottish Government asking them to monitor the situation and be ready to step in should administrators, PKF, not be able to find a buyer.
Mr Adam said:
“I welcome the guarantees that care for residents will not be interrupted while the administrators try to find a buyer.
“Care needs to be the priority just now and ensuring staff, residents and their families are kept fully informed of developments is vital.
“It is also encouraging to hear the company believes there will be no redundancies and the residents are not at any risk.
He continued:
“I will write to Aberdeen City Council and the Scottish Government to ensure that they are keeping a close eye on the situation and that the level of resident care does not falter.”
