HIQA finds major non compliance at Headford nursing home

Galway Bay fm newsroom – A nursing home in the county has been found majorly ‘non-compliant’ with standards by the Health Information and Quality Authority.
HIQA carried out a series of inspections at Lough Corrib Nursing Home in Headford earlier this year.
It found that the nursing home was not compliant with having a suitable person in charge, notification of incidents and other areas such as residents’ rights, dignity and consultation.
However, it was substantially compliant in terms of food and nutrition and its complaints procedures.
