A third care home run by a company at the centre of allegations of abuse against vulnerable patients is to close.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said Castlebeck had agreed to close Arden Vale, near Coventry in the West Midlands, by next Thursday.
The company, which owned the Winterbourne View care home in Bristol where abuse was filmed by an undercover BBC journalist for Panorama, announced last week that it was to close Rose Villa, also in Bristol, for operational reasons.
Arden Vale, which is home to people with learning disabilities and mental health problems, was the subject of legal action by the CQC after it inspected the facility in June, which would prevent Castlebeck from operating at the site.
Andrea Gordon, CQC's regional director for the West and East Midlands, said it had taken action after seeing "no evidence" of the improvements to care it had demanded.
"Castlebeck has responded to our action by agreeing to close the service on a voluntary basis," she said.
"When CQC published reports into all 23 Castlebeck locations at the end of last month, we identified four services where we had significant concerns. Arden Vale will be the second of these locations to close; Rose Villa in Bristol closed last week. A third service, Winterbourne View, was closed following CQC action in June.
"We continue to monitor all Castlebeck services very closely."
