Residents at centre for disabilities 'distressed' by news their 'haven' was closing, Hiqa finds

'A number of residents voiced their concerns that this centre was one of a kind and designed to meet their specific care and support needs.'

Residents at a centre for disabilities in south Dublin, some of whom had lived there since they were children, were left distressed and upset after learning that the provider had sought a high court order to liquidate the company.

The findings in relation to the St Mary’s Centre (Telford) are included in 17 inspection reports on centres for people with disabilities published by the Health Information and Quality Authority.
