Admissions Suspended At Laois Nursing Home After Expose: Kildare Homes Also Operated By Same Firm

HIQA says 'escalatory action' on foot of the programme means admissions have now been stopped.

New admissions have been suspended at a nursing home in Laois after it was featured in a TV expose.

The Residence in Portlaoise was one of two homes about which 'significant concerns' were raised in an RTE Investigates report.

HIQA says 'escalatory action' on foot of the programme means admissions have now been stopped.

The Health Information and Quality Authority says further inspections will take place at The Residence, and Beneavin Manor in Glasnevin in Dublin, also featured in the programme.

Emeis Ireland, formerly Orpea, operates 27 private nursing homes in Ireland, including five in Kildare.
