The owners of an Exmouth care home are under fire for continuing to accept long-term placements even though they were planning to close it down.
The Methodist Housing Association which owns the Moreton home on Drakes Avenue has announced that it'll close next month, for the site to be redeveloped.
Devon county council say they're disappointed and would not have placed elderly people in the home if they had known.
The Methodist Housing Association say the announcement was made once a plan was in place to provide the necessary support - and they deeply regret the upheaval caused to residents and their families.
