In the past 12 months, 18 private and voluntary nursing homes across the country have closed their doors
the closures are leading to a lack of options for older people.
"Recently HIQA warned that what you're going to have is people travelling 30, 40, 50 miles to get nursing home care. "We know people are living longer; that's a very, very positive thing but unfortunately as a country we're not planning for that demographic across a whole range of services. "There's no surprises coming, and we need to plan for that, we need to resource that in terms of funding and in terms of the workforce."
