Killarney Nursing Home excels in unannounced inspection

Killarney Nursing Home was found to either be compliant or substantially complaint on nearly 20 checks carried out at the care facility.
The 56 bed Rock Road nursing home, which is operated by Mowlam Healthcare Services, was the subject of an unannounced inspection last November.
Inspector Ella Ferriter of the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) published her report at the end of January.
“On the day of the inspection the inspector observed that residents were supported to enjoy a good quality of life in Killarney Nursing Home, by staff who were kind and caring. The overall feedback from the residents was that they were happy with the care provided by staff and that they enjoyed their life in the centre. They all complemented the kind staff, who gave them time and worked very hard,” said the report.
Throughout the day the inspector observed a friendly, relaxed and calm atmosphere in the home.
"Residents were observed to get up at a time of their choosing and told the inspector that staff were always respectful of their wishes. The inspector spoke with a number of residents during the inspection who said that they were happy in the centre and that the staff were always kind and helpful to them.”
The inspector also met with two visitors who spoke very positively about the care their loved ones received.
