Nursing home closed over fears for residents’ safety

A NURSING home that was the subject of a HSE court attempt to shut it down seven years ago has been effectively closed after serious concerns were raised for residents’ safety.

The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) secured an interim court order last Friday cancelling the registration of Rostrevor House Nursing Home at 66 Orwell Road, Rathgar, Dublin.

The order was sought over fears for the welfare of the home’s 23 residents.
