The owner of a troubled aged care centre, which suddenly closed three months ago amid a pay dispute, says he has lost his licence to operate a high-care facility, and the centre will not reopen.

The Gold Coast facility also formed part of the Royal Commission into Aged Care, which heard half of the residents at Earle Haven were being physically restrained in the weeks before it closed.

Lorraine Cook — whose husband John was one of the relocated residents — said she now had to catch two buses and travel over an hour each way to see her husband at his new facility.

Very sad for him that he has suffered a financial cost after all these years. I hope he has to suffer the same levels of care that his facility dished out. Restitution for the nursing home residents is the next step ... classaction perhaps QLDLegal

Care and business have no place in the same sentence! This bloke deserved to lose his accreditation and licences. He should count himself lucky he didn't lose his dignity & liberty, something which can't be said for the elderly people his ''business' was supposed to be helping

she was frustrated there had been so much focus on elderly Australians with the royal comm but there had not been a change That is d way gov shoves too hard basket shove them to inquiry till they become d next gov problem

'Many elderly, most without recourse, left homeless after government finally enforce own rules about caring for humans in a a humane manner'. LateStageCapitalism.
