The inspection was carried out at St Camillus Nursing Centre in Killucan in April this year.
A Westmeath Nursing Home has been cited by the healthcare watchdog for failing to meet regulations over resident's care plans, fire safety, and staffing.
In all St Camillus Nursing Centre in Killucan was found to be non-compliant in five areas after an inspection in April this year.
During the unannounced inspection HIQA found the environment to be warm and bright, with residents saying they felt very safe and secure.
However the nursing home failed its inspection in five regulation areas.
Care plans for individual residents were found to be insufficient, and did not demonstrate that there was a strong person-centred human rights approach to care.
St Camillus has been deemed non-compliant on fire safety regulations with staff not appropriately briefed on fire safety drills.
And inspectors were not assured of the building's ability to contain fire, smoke and fumes.
While additional staff had been recruited, HIQA was not assured residents were adequately supported by staff to participate in meaningful social activities.
And staff did not demonstrate appropriate knowledge and skills in relation to meeting residents' social care needs.
That is a repeated finding from the last inspection in November 2024.
In response St Camillus Nursing Centre provided an action plan over the areas of non-compliance, however HIQA says its not adequately assured the actions will resolve the issues
