Former workers at the Sherwood Road residence have this week blown the whistle on a care home that they say has been 'run into the ground'.
The final five elderly residents were moved out last week when the home was closed by the owner Mark Sutters, but staff say the first they heard of the closure was when relatives turned up to organise the move.
Now the 10 members of staff, who stayed until the bitter end, say they have not been paid for the past month's work and have been locked out.
The news comes in the wake of a national scandal when Mrs Collins was evicted in July last year – she died just weeks later after she was forced to move when rent was raised by more than £100 a week.
Now five elderly residents have been forced out after staff say working conditions became 'a nightmare'.
One woman, who has worked there for 10 years, told the Guardian that she was forced into a role she was not qualified for, and that cleaners and an administrator were even helping out as carers.
She said that on one occasion, things got so bad that there was no food for the residents so she had to go out herself to a supermarket.
"I had to do the shopping at Tesco when there was not any food. If I hadn't, they would have had nothing to eat."
"I was on call nearly every night. I haven't had a holiday in over a year," she said.
"Sometimes we had to work all through the day and all through the night and all the next day," she said.
Another worker added: "The carers have been literally walking about half asleep because they have been doubling up and doubling up on shifts. We have always liked working there. It's a sad sad ending."
"It's been a nightmare."
Despite the lack of staff and money to run the home, all the workers agreed the residents still received a good standard of care.
"The residents have been well looked after," one woman said. "There have been some good staff there, it's just been run down into the ground."
"It puts the residents in a vulnerable position when we were working too many hours."
"Yet we all did it, but we did it for the residents. We cared about them, it was not their fault – they relied on us and we could not let them down. It's been awful for two or three months."
Notts County Council, who funded the five remaining residents, released the following statement this week: "We were becoming increasingly aware that, over the last couple of weeks, the situation within the Abbeymoor Nursing Home was becoming untenable."
"Our concern was for the five residents that we had in the home, and to transfer them with minimal disruption."
"All residents have now been moved and are settled into new accommodation."
But workers at the home described the move for the five residents as 'heartbreaking'.
"One lady, Ivy, who moved was quite distressed," a former worker said. "She's used to our voices and she was told so quickly she would be leaving."
"She's got no children and the only friend who visits her was away on holiday."
"She was taken away in that ambulance all on her own. It was absolutely shocking."
The staff are now being backed by Bassetlaw MP John Mann in a fight to get wages, which they say they are owed from August and September.
"I am trying to ensure that staff who are all local and have all worked there a long time will be paid," said Mr Mann. "I am going to get them a lawyer to make sure that they are paid."
Mark Sutters, owner of the home, was unavailable for comment at the time the Guardian went to press.
l The Commission for Health and Social Care, an independent watchdog visited the home in July 2007. This was followed by two random inspections in January and May this year with an official visit in June.
The report resulted in the home being rated 0 star and 'poor'.
