An announced HIQA inspection on October 14, 2025 examined Ocean House, a designated residential centre in Bray operated by Sunbeam House Services CLG. Two residents lived at the centre at the time. Serious risks to residents' safety were identified. One resident was prevented by a housemate from using the bathroom. The same resident was provided with incontinence products despite confirmation from a general practitioner and a urology nurse that there was no known medical necessity. The situation raises concerns about care, autonomy, and appropriate clinical decision-making at the centre.
