Urgent Action Needed For Nursing Home Care - NHI

It comes following revelations at private nursing homes in Laois and Dublin.

Urgent action is needed to embed nursing home care within a rights-based, sustainable and person-centred system, according to Nursing Homes Ireland. 

The body is warning the sector faces deepening fragmentation, widening inequities and unsustainable pressure on residents, families and staff. 

A new Insights Paper identifies 10 thematic priorities, including human rights, safeguarding, equitable access and workforce planning.

It comes after revelations of malpractice at private nursing homes in both Laois and Dublin in June.

The Nursing Homes Ireland report says a person-centred approach must shape all future policy decisions.
