A county Longford centre for people with disabilities has received a largely positive report from the health watchdog.
An unannounced inspection was carried out at Morlea House in February, the details of which have been published this week.
Morlea House can accommodate a maximum of six male and female adult residents from 18 years to the end of life, where appropriate, who have an intellectual disability, with high support and complex needs.
Inspectors say the provider has since implemented the majority of its compliance plan, resulting in a marked improvement in the quality of life for residents.
Residents told inspectors they were happy living at the centre, said staff treated them well, and were observed taking part in activities they enjoyed in a clean, well-maintained and supportive environment.
The inspection found that staffing, residents' rights, protection, risk management, premises and individual care planning were all fully compliant with regulations.
The only area requiring further improvement related to governance and management, which was judged to be substantially compliant.
Family feedback also highlighted concerns about one resident's care, with management confirming they would meet relatives to discuss those issues.
Overall, HIQA concluded that Morlea House had made significant progress since its last inspection, with residents receiving safe, person-centred care from a consistent staff team and enjoying a good quality of life.
