A county Roscommon centre for disabilities has received a mixed report from the health watchdog.
HIQA has published the findings of an inspection at Soolhaven, which took place in October last year, the details of which have been published today.
Inspectors carried out an unannounced visit to Soolhaven on the 15th of October last year.
It provides long-stay residential/shared care for up to three residents who are diagnosed with autism and or an intellectual disability.
The aim of management and staff of Soolhaven is to create an environment which supports the service user to live as independently as their physical and mental health allows.
The inspection found that residents were generally supported to enjoy a good quality of life, with staff assisting them to take part in activities in their local community.
Residents were also found to have access to healthcare services and personalised support plans.
However, inspectors did identify a number of areas where improvements were needed.
These included aspects of governance and management, the oversight of documentation, and ensuring that some policies and records were fully up to date.
HIQA says while many supports were in place for residents, the provider must address the issues identified to ensure the service fully complies with the regulations and national standards for residential disability services.
An action plan has been put in place by the provider to address the findings of the inspection.
