Concerns raised over fire safety standards at nursing home in Limerick

An inspection report into a nursing home in Limerick has raised concerns over a ‘Do not attempt to resuscitate’ decision, regarding a resident, and also over fire safety standards.

The inspection of the Good Counsel Nursing Home, on the Kilmallock Road, in Limerick, carried out by the Health Information and Quality Authority, was “triggered by a pattern of concerns received by the authority” and followed up on an earlier inspection.

Of the 10 headings checked, the centre was fully compliant in two, and majorly non-compliant in three.
