Droimnin Nursing Home in Stradbally failed eight of the ten regulation areas.
A Laois nursing home is being cited for exposing its residents to repeated 'significant harm' repeated non-compliance by the health watchdog.
Droimnin Nursing Home in Stradbally failed its most recent inspection is eight of the ten regulation areas it was examined on.
Among the issues detailed in this unannounced September inspection was a lack of documentation around protecting residents from abuse.
There were a number of care incidents that were indicative of potential safeguarding issues.
However, these incidents were not recognised as safeguarding concerns and were neither documented or investigated appropriately.
Resident's dietary needs weren't being met in line with their medical conditions.
For instance, those at risk of choking failed to receive meals in accordance with prescribed diets.
A lack of staff supervision was such that residents at risk of malnutrition were not provided with nutritional care in line with their care plans.
And the government and management of the nursing home is being specifically cited and being described as a weak and undefined organisation structure.
HIQA says this contributed to the provider failing to address, or take appropriate action, following the significant high risk findings of the previous inspection of the centre.
The facility in Laois has also been the subject of an application to cancel or vary its license based on its repeated failure to address issues flagged by HIQA.
Following a hearing in November at Tullamore District Court, the application was adjourned until February 3rd.
