Portlaoise nursing home breached admissions restrictions imposed by HIQA

A nursing home in Portlaoise, run by Emeis Ireland, breached a restriction on admissions imposed by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) earlier this year, RTÉ Investigates has learned. This morning, HIQA confirmed that following an inspection of The Residence Portlaoise in February this year, it initiated proceedings to stop admissions to the nursing home. The provider was advised of this measure in February, a formal notification was issued in March and the restriction came into effect on 22 April. However, the nursing home was in breach of the sanction after 22 April. It is understood a flurry of admissions took place to the home in late April, including post 22 April and during which time RTÉ Investigates had an undercover healthcare assistant working at the home. RTÉ Investigates has contacted Emeis Ireland for comment - the company has yet to respond.
