Five have already gone, and the rest of the 32 residents at Clinton House nursing home in St Austell should be moved by the end of next week according to Cornwall Council.
It was announced last week the home would be closing after an undercover expose by the BBC's Panorama programme which is due to be broadcast on Monday.
It says it found evidence of cruelty and neglect at this and one other home run by the Morleigh group, and after a multi-agency investigation the local authority took the decision to remove all the residents it funded at Clinton House.
Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Police are involved in a multi-agency investigation into a number of allegations regarding levels of care received by residents at the home. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made."
