A short notice inspection by HIQA at a facility run by the Muiriosa Foundation, in Offaly, found poor hygiene standards, fire hazards and a danger of rodent infestation.
The building which is described as being located outside a large Offaly town is registered as an isolation hub during the Covid-19 pandemic and is a one single storey bungalow. When not being used as an isolation hub a day service operates at the centre.
Known as Community Living Area A3, there were no residents present on the day of the inspection, however, documentation pertaining to people's stay in the centre was viewed by the inspector and this indicated that the residents had been content during their stay and their support needs were well catered for during that time.
