"The profile of nursing home ownership in the sector is changing, with evidence of consolidation by large corporate groups. If one of these organisations experience financial difficulties, this would pose a significant risk to the nursing home sector and impact significantly on the people living in these centres."
"Over the past 15 years we have consistently seen how important the relationship between regulatory compliance and good governance and management is in nursing homes. Many providers have worked hard to improve their compliance, resulting in stronger governance and management arrangements being put in place. This has led to better outcomes for residents and tangible improvements to their lived experiences."
"Many services are now providing care that is more person centred, with residents exercising more choice, enjoying a greater degree of privacy and dignity and being supported to live more meaningful lives."
"The report shows that nursing home care has moved away from a medical, institutional model towards a social model of care. Hiqa has also worked with providers during this time to embed a human rights-based approach to care in the sector."
