ALONE: Excellent care 'a right, not a privilege'
A charity has called on the Health Information and Quality Authority to act quickly on nursing homes that are found to provide inadequate services for the elderly.
ALONE, the charity which supports older people in need, made the call in light of the report yesterday from HIQA where nursing home inspectors expressed “grave concern” for the safety and welfare of up to 22 residents at the Owen Riff Nursing Home, Co. Galway.
