Nursing home kept taking in residents following Hiqa inspection

A nursing home which had been prevented from permitting entry to new residents due to issues raised in previous Hiqa inspections was still allowing admissions, a report has found.

The Hiqa inspection report into Rochestown Nursing Home, Monastery Rd, Rochestown, Cork, found major non-compliances in governance and management, retention of documentation, and its complaints procedure.

There were some other moderate non-compliances and it fully met standards in three areas.
