IRISH NURSING HOMES HELL – “Unacceptable and shocking practices”
The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) has confirmed that it is carrying out a review of all nursing homes operated by the Emeis Ireland group, after multiple care failings and neglect of vulnerable older residents at two of its nursing homes were documented by RTÉ Investigates. The programme uncovered multiple examples of care failings and neglect of vulnerable older residents at The Residence Portlaoise and Beneavin Manor in Glasnevin in north Dublin, two nursing homes run by Emeis Ireland. HIQA said that following its inspection of The Residence Portlaoise in February, it initiated proceedings to stop admissions to the nursing home and that this came into effect in April. In a statement this morning, HIQA said that “the practices shown in the programme were wholly unacceptable and shocking.” Credit to : No Risk No Reward
