Rutland County Council is working hard to put alternative care arrangements in place for residents who will be affected by the closure of Aberdeen House Care Home in Uppingham.

Aberdeen House Care Home is privately run by Aberdeen Care Ltd. The owner has confirmed it is closing the home and the firm is going into liquidation.

Having been notified of the owner's decision on 21 December 2023, Rutland County Council has stepped in to ensure alternative care arrangements are put in place to meet the individual needs of the eight residents living at Aberdeen House before the home is closed and de-registered on 3 January 2024.

Kim Sorsky, Strategic Director for Adults and Health at Rutland County Council, said: "We've acted quickly following confirmation of the closure. We are in contact with the home's residents and their families, to provide support and reassurance, we are also supporting the care home Manager and staff.

"We will continue to work closely with all affected residents and their families to find alternative placements for people to move to."
