Kerry Bailey, Business Restructuring Partner, BDO Manchester, said: “I engaged Caresolve in June 2019 to provide operational and financial management turnaround services at Mapleford Care Home in Accrington, Lancashire, following my appointment as Administrator at that time.

“Caresolve’s remit included overseeing the day-to-day running of the home; providing full financial management of the home including trading and cash flow forecasting and day to day financial management; advising BDO on investment required to ensure Health & Safety compliance and environmental improvements; providing mentoring and support to the home’s management team in order to drive and sustain improvements to adherence of regulatory standards; and ultimately lead the home to successful sale.

“Completion on the sale of Mapleford Care Home was achieved in June 2020. During the period of engagement, I found Caresolve to be a willing, responsive and effective partner organisation. The operational team, led by Maxine Parry, demonstrated strong leadership throughout and formed an excellent working relationship with the home’s management team, supporting and guiding them through a testing and, at times, difficult period of change. Equally, Caresolve’s financial arm provided an efficient and seamless accounting service throughout the engagement period.

“To this end, I would have no hesitation in engaging Caresolve’s services again should the opportunity arise. I am also happy to recommend Caresolve for similar type assignments, both to operators and fellow care sector professionals alike.”
