Telford & Wrekin Council today pledged to work to ensure "continuity of care" is maintained for people it has placed in care homes run by a company battling to find a long-term solution to its financial crisis.
Southern Cross Healthcare, which cares for nearly 200 people in Shropshire including residents at homes in Telford and Newport, made a £311 million loss in the six months to the end of March.
It has said it will be forced to cut by 30 per cent the rent it pays to the landlords of the homes it runs.
