Watchdog cancels care home’s registration

The Cheshire Home in Cork has had its registration cancelled on foot of continuing serious shortcomings in the level of care provided to residents, leading to hospitalisation in some cases.

Enable Ireland has taken over the running of the home.

Health watchdog Hiqa cancelled, on July 28, the registration of The Cheshire Foundation in Ireland as provider for St Laurence Cheshire centre due to concern for the safety and well-being of residents.
