Southern Cross transfer due for completion this Autumn

Transfer of Southern Cross care homes to new operators is due to be completed by the end of October 2011. 

A restructuring committee made up of representatives from the company, its landlords and lenders, are overseeing the process that involves 750 care and nursing homes, and up to 31,000 residents. 

Southern Cross Healthcare is the largest independent care home operator in England. It will cease operating when transfers have been completed.

The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) is maintaining an updated guide to the transfer of homes.
