http://www.business-sale.com - The administrators of a residential care home based in Bridlington are hoping to sell the business as a going concern.

Afton Court filed for administration at the end of last week and appointed Christopher White and Andrew Wood, partners at Sheffield-based The P&A Partnership, as joint administrators.

White and Wood hope to locate a buyer who is keen to purchase the care home and save its 26 staff from redundancy.

White said that the care home was continuing to run as normal and that they were looking to sell quickly.

The administrators are working with the Care Quality Commission to ensure that services to residents are not disrupted during the administration period.
