2019-01-26Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementTralee Rest Home received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because although care quality was generally good with effective and caring practices, there were gaps in safety management and leadership oversight. Specifically, blood sugar monitoring equipment was not being calibrated as required, recruitment procedures lacked safeguards for staff with criminal convictions, and night staffing arrangements could unduly influence residents' bedtime choices. Additionally, quality audits and governance processes, whilst improved, were not being used effectively enough to drive continuous improvement and embed sustained changes.
