Action plan issued to care centre over shortcomings
The inspection report, published by Hiqa, follows a visit to a designated centre for people with disabilities operated by Resilience Healthcare Limited in Kerry. It opened in October 2013 as a residential/respite service offering a high support residential and respite service for children with an intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, and challenging behaviour.
Six children were using the centre at the time of the inspection, including one who lived in the centre on a permanent basis since December 2014. All of the children were diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder.
