Two residential centres for older people in the Sligo have been found to be non-compliant in a number of regulations in the Health Information and Quality
Clinical Nurse Manager of Sonas Ard Na Greine Nursing Home in Enniscrone, Christine Cronin, has said there is hope in the air for residents and staff thanks to the Covid-19 vaccination.
The 42 residents of the nursing home will be vaccinated against the novel coronavirus later this month, and Ms Cronin says there is a mixture of relief, and hope that there might be some return to normality soon.
Thanks to the incredible efforts of staff, both while at work and in their private lives, the nursing home has remained Covid-19 free throughout the pandemic. Staff have taken measures in their own private lives minding their own families and people in here. Protocols have kept the nursing home Covid free, hopefully that will keep happening over the next few weeks, said Ms Cronin.
