A Nottingham care home has entered liquidation and made all of its staff redundant after it was forced to shut by inspectors.
Ebury Home, located in Sherwood Rise, was forced to close by the suspension of its license following an inspection by the watchdog, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), in December 2025.
Fifteen residents were moved to alternative accommodation when the care home closed its doors on Wednesday, December 3, just six months after first opening.

The fate of the care home has now been confirmed, with liquidators appointed to wind up the business.
As a result, all 34 employees of Ebury Home have been made redundant.
Michael Roome and Jamie Playford of insolvency firm Leading were appointed joint liquidators of the company on March 18.
“A CQC inspection took place on November 17, 2025. Following that inspection, regulatory action was taken, and the service was suspended for a period of three months,” Mr Roome explained.
“As part of this action, all residents were removed by the CQC during early December 2025, with the business ceasing to trade and the 34 employees being made redundant.”
The CQC previously said it had inspected Ebury Home for the first time on November 17 and told bosses not to take new admissions before it made improvements.
However, the regulator then received “several concerns” from partner agencies, prompting a revisit on December 1.
During the visits, inspectors identified serious risks around the environment, safeguarding, care and treatment, risk management, staffing and leadership, a CQC spokesperson said.
The home’s registration, which it needed to operate, was suspended for three months, but the CQC said Ebury Home had the right to appeal if it wanted to.
Ebury Home had offered 24/7 care to residents, including those living with dementia, and claimed to provide “personalised support and genuine companionship ensuring the well-being of each resident”, according to its website.
Nillie Arachchige, the home’s manager, pledged in December to make the changes required to reopen it.
She said the business was “going to make this right” for its forced-out residents, who she referred to as being “like a family”.
