A spokesperson for the Care Inspectorate said: “An inspection has identified serious and significant concerns about the quality of care experienced by residents at Nightingale House Care Home in Auchinleck.
“We understand this is a difficult and distressing time for residents, their loved ones and staff at the home.
“However, our first priority is always the health and wellbeing of residents.
“On 2 June 2021 we issued an Improvement Notice which listed the areas of care that required to improve.
"However, because of our concerns about the safety and wellbeing of residents, and because the improvements required have not been made, we have today submitted an application to the sheriff court seeking cancellation of the care home’s registration.
"This could allow new care arrangements to be put in place for residents of the home.
“We are working closely with partners including East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership and the Scottish Government to ensure that residents experience appropriate care that meets their needs during this difficult time."
