A centre in Roscommon for people with disabilities has received a largely positive report from the health watchdog.
An announced inspection of the Brothers of Charity's Oak Services was carried out in May, the details of which have been published today.
Oak Services comprises of two houses in County Roscommon, which are located within close proximity in a town.
One house is a respite centre providing services to both male and female adults with disabilities over the age of 18, and the second house is a full-time residential service for up to four residents.
The respite service is offered to six people who use the facilities on a shared basis on predetermined weekdays and weekends throughout the month.
Residents were supported to enjoy a high quality of care which was person centred and focused on person centred activities for all residents.
Management structures had not ensured that actions identified in two previous internal audits were addressed in a timely manner but also did not clearly show all required actions.
However, the provider and person in charge had ensured that effective communication was supported in the centre to aid residents in line with their assessed needs.
Residents were supported to engage in activities of their choosing outside of the centre.
This included upcoming summer events in the local areas, attending day services and local community events.
Overall, residents in this centre were enabled to lead very active lives in their local community and in the centre.
The provider had appropriate care and support arrangements in place at the centre to ensure residents' healthcare needs were met.
