An inspection took place in April, and the report has just been published.
HIQA has found St. John of God Kildare Service to be compliant on all standards on which it was assessed.
The pre-announced inspection took place in April, and the inspection report just published.
The facility was assessed on 17 standards, and was found to have met all of them.
The Health Information and Quality Authority's inspector "observed that residents enjoyed a very good quality of life in this centre and were offered a person-centred service tailored to their individual needs and preferences."
HIQA adds "A family member that the inspector spoke with also felt that their relative was safe during the pandemic, and ''staff had gone over and beyond the call of duty''. For example, staff took temperatures every two hours instead of twice daily, which had the positive impact of identifying a COVID-19 case early. Effective measures were implemented quickly as a result. The family member felt that staff and person in charge were dedicated and vigilant. "
