Cowman, Seamus; Royston, Maeve; Hickey, Anne; Horgan, Frances; McGee, Hannah; O'Neill, Desmond
Abstract:
<p>This original article is available at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2318/10/4</p>
<p>ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Although stroke is recognised as a major factor in admission to nursing home care, data is lacking on the extent and nature of the disabilities and dependency in nursing homes arising from stroke. A national study conducted in nursing homes can quantify the number of residents with stroke in nursing homes, their disability and levels of dependency. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey research design was used. A total of 572 public and private nursing homes were identified nationally and a stratified random selection of 60 nursing homes with 3,239 residents was made. In half of the nursing homes (n = 30) efforts were made to interview all residents with stroke Survey instruments were used to collect data from residents with stroke and nursing home managers on demography, patient disability, and treatment. RESULTS: Across all nursing homes (n = 60), 18%...

Sectoral study of the Irish private nursing home industry
(1995)
Irish Registered Nursing Home Association
Abstract:
KPMG Management Consulting were appointed by the Irish Registered Nursing Homes Association (IRNHA), formerly the Irish Private Nursing Homes Association, to conduct a sectoral study of the private nursing homes industry in Ireland. The objectives of this study were to review the private nursing home industry in terms of its structure, the supply of nursing homes and the demand in Ireland for long stay geriatric care. In examining the cost structures within the sector, the financial analysis presented in this report provides a breakdown of the costs of care by home size, health board region and by home location. Market Supply The supply of private nursing homes varies considerably in terms of type and size of home. The total supply of private and voluntary nursing homes has increased by 21 % from 299 in 1989 to 361 in 1995. In 1989, 27% of nursing homes in the private sector were voluntary homes run by religious or charitable organisations. The number of voluntary homes in 1995 was ...

Health’s ageing crisis: time for action - a future strategy for Ireland's long term residential care sector: executive summary
(2014)
BDO
Abstract:
The provision of residential care for our ageing population is rapidly heading for crisis; however this is a situation that can, with the appropriate action, be avoided. In light of the serious challenges presented by an ageing population, Nursing Homes Ireland (NHI) engaged BDO to undertake an independent, fact-based review of the Irish Nursing Home Sector. The objective of the study is to help inform current and future national strategy for aged care provision and to provide guidance as to what may represent appropriate future policy responses and directions, specifically with regards to the future role of Ireland’s nursing home sector

The situation of younger people with disabilities living in nursing homes in Ireland - phase 1
(2018)
Pierce, Mary; Kilcullen, Sophia; Duffy, Mel
Abstract:
This research is very timely given Ireland’s recent ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the imminent full commencement of the Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act, 2015 together with proposed legislation dealing with Deprivation of Liberty.1 Although the sample in the study is small, it offers valuable insights into the referral of, and pathways into nursing homes for younger people with disabilities. Whilst law and policy are centred on the enabling of people with disabilities to live the lives of their choosing in the community, the report notes that the supports to enable them to do so ‘are underdeveloped, unplanned and often not sufficient to meet their needs’. Instead of taking a human rights based, social model approach, which would look to the person’s will and preference, there is an overemphasis on the medical model in the assessment form. There is little focus on a person’s abilities, capabilities or on options for care in the c...

Annual private nursing home survey, 1994.
(2004)
Irish Nursing Homes Organisation (INHO); Horwath Bastow Charleton
Abstract:
The INHO is delighted to publish the second annual survey of the private nursing home sector. This year's survey is the most comprehensive survey ever undertaken. We would like to thank all respondents for taking the time to complete and return the questionnaire and without whom, this survey could not have been published. We specifically would like to thank Horwath Bastow Charleton for the work they have put in to making this years survey as comprehensive as it is. This year's survey includes useful information on other associated areas and a directory of the nursing homes across the country. The private nursing home sector has grown significantly again in 2004. The supply of private beds has grown by approximately 10 per cent in the year since the last survey was published and growth is forecast to continue at least at a similar level in the near future. While new tailor made, high specification beds are welcome, the addition of so many beds in such a short time period, i...

Serenity Spirituality Sessions: A Descriptive Qualitative Exploration of a Christian Resource Designed to Foster Spiritual Well-Being among Older People in Nursing Homes in Ireland
(2015)
TIMMINS, FIONA
Abstract:
This paper reports on a descriptive qualitative study that explored the value and benefit of Serenity Spirituality Sessions programme for older nursing home residents. The research was carried out in six nursing homes in the Republic of Ireland. The facilitators of these sessions, who worked in the nursing homes, were interviewed about their experiences of delivering the programme and their views on the impact that the programme had on resident participants. Emergent themes revealed benefits of the intervention for clients, including inducing a calming effect, increased sense of belonging and benefits of ritual use. The programme yielded positive results, and appears suited to the predominantly Christian population, and as such is deemed a useful adjunct to holistic and spiritual care in these settings.

The journey through death and dying: families' experiences of end-of-life care in private nursing homes

The journey through death and dying: families' experiences of end-of-life care in private nursing homes
(2014)
Duffy, Mel; Courtney, Eileen
Abstract:
Research focusing on families’ experiences of end-of-life care in an Irish context is largely absent. In a recent comprehensive review of end-of-life care for older people in acute and long-stay care settings in Ireland, O’Shea et al (2008) excluded the perspective of families from the study. This study aims to reduce that deficit by exploring families’ experiences and perceptions of the end-of-life care received by their loved in the context of a private nursing home setting. The report is comprised of discussions on: methodology; review of existing literature and interpretation of the data gathered thorough interviews of relatives who admitted a family member to nursing homes. The data revealed how families noticed their loved ‘grow infirm, they age’ (Elias 1985 p.3) focusing on their journey through the ageing process. It uncovers the emotional journey of family members when they come to the realisation of the limitations of their ability to provide care for their loved ones. ...

COVID-19 deaths in Irish Nursing Homes: exploring variation and association with the adherence to national regulatory quality standards
(2020)
Romero-Ortuno, Roman; Kennelly, Se?n
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected nursing home residents worldwide, with Ireland having one of the highest reported proportions of COVID-19 deaths in this setting. In Ireland, the publication of a ?league table? of crude number of deaths in affected care facilities sparked controversy on grounds of being potentially inaccurate and unhelpful. In this analysis, we reviewed these published unofficial mortality data together with official data on quality standards published by the Irish regulator. Findings: There was substantial disagreement between the crude number of deaths and the mortality proportion per 100 beds. The association between crude number of deaths and maximum occupancy was significant with a moderate effect size (Spearman?s rho= 0.38, p<0.001, n=146). We found no significant association between occupancy-adjusted mortality and percentage of non-compliance with inspection standards (Spearman?s rho = -0.09, p=0.315, n=140). Specifically, we found...

Moore, John
Abstract:
Methodology Seventeen nursing homes in Ireland were recruited to take part in this research.Ownership varies with seven private homes and ten Health Service Executive (HSE) administered homes involved. The homes were surveyed between May 2007 andNovember 2008. The methodology consisted of the following three elements: A building survey to establish fire safety facilities: An analysis of fire related documentation: Interviews with staff to establish existing fire safety procedures. Results None of the seventeen nursing homes showed an adequate ability to prevent fire or evacuate residents to a place of safety. None of the nursing homes carried out adequate fire risk assessments. None of the nursing homes prevented fire doors being left open. Only one nursing home fully complied with relevant codes of practice in terms of construction and required fire safety facilities. Only one nursing home had a sufficient standard of compartmentation to allow the movement of residents to a relativ...

The role and future development of nursing homes in Ireland.
(1991)
O'Shea, Eamon; Donnison, David; Larragy, Joe; Blackwell, John; Marshall, Mary
Abstract:
This study on the role and future development of nursing homes in Ireland is a further contribution by the National Council for the Elderly to the series of studies on institutional care services for the elderly begun by its predecessor, the National Council for the Aged. Taking the Community as its focus, the Council's 1985 study, Institutional Care of the Elderly in Ireland established the context in which the general hospital and other hospital and institutional care services can best support the community caring network in achieving its full potential. The role of assessment and the concept of the community hospital were outlined and the issues of registration and funding of nursing homes were addressed. Two studies followed, Nursing Homes in the Republic of Ireland: A Study of the Private and Voluntary Sector and "It's Our Home": The Quality of Life in Private and Voluntary Nursing Homes, in 1986. These studies established the first profile of the structure ...

Nursing homes in the Republic of Ireland: a study of the private and voluntary sector.
(1986)
O'Connor, Joyce; Thompstone, Kevin
Abstract:
The National Council for the Aged recognises the growing contribution of private and voluntary nursing homes to the care of the aged in the Republic of Ireland today. About one-third of all those aged over 65 who are in long-stay institutional care in Ireland live in a nursing home. The number of nursing 'homes, particularly privately owned and commercially run, has risen substantially over the past decade. With nearly 50 per cent of these homes being less than ten years old, it is not perhaps surprising that no comprehensive, up-to-date data on these homes are currently available.

Health’s ageing crisis: time for action: a future strategy for Ireland's long term residential care sector
(2014)
BDO
Abstract:
The provision of residential care for our ageing population is rapidly heading for crisis; however this is a situation that can, with the appropriate action, be avoided. In light of the serious challenges presented by an ageing population, Nursing Homes Ireland (NHI) engaged BDO to undertake an independent, fact-based review of the Irish Nursing Home Sector. The objective of the study is to help inform current and future national strategy for aged care provision and to provide guidance as to what may represent appropriate future policy responses and directions, specifically with regards to the future role of Ireland’s nursing home sector. The report aims to identify the measures which must be taken to insure the sustainability of the sector now and into the future.

Abstract:
<p>Aim: Describe a detailed project plan to develop a telementoring system using an interprofessional educational model in three nursing homes.</p> <p>Rationale: Interprofessional education (IPE) has been shown to have positive impacts on team-working and health outcomes for older patients in nursing homes who have complex needs. The CLAN programme aims to enhance IPE opportunities through the development of a videoconferencing system with expert facilitator supporting an IPE model.</p> <p>Change Process. This project will use the Senior & Swailes OD model to guide the change process that is required to support the development of collaborative learning. Early recognition of the known barriers and enablers to IPE in health professionals coupled with a distributive leadership model will help sustain the project and embed important principles of team learning. High engagement with influential stakeholders coupled with an in-depth risk analysis is an im...

Abstract:
This paper reports on a descriptive qualitative study that explored the value and benefit of Serenity Spirituality Sessions programme for older nursing home residents. The research was carried out in six nursing homes in the Republic of Ireland. The facilitators of these sessions, who worked in the nursing homes, were interviewed about their experiences of delivering the programme and their views on the impact that the programme had on resident participants. Emergent themes revealed benefits of the intervention for clients, including inducing a calming effect, increased sense of belonging and benefits of ritual use. The programme yielded positive results, and appears suited to the predominantly Christian population, and as such is deemed a useful adjunct to holistic and spiritual care in these settings.

An evaluation of technical efficiency in Irish nursing homes
(2020)
Ni Luasa, Shiovan
Abstract:
The evaluation of technical efficiency (TE) and its determinants in the Irish nursing home (INH) care provision is an important research area for a number of reasons. First, Ireland’s population is ageing quickly, and it is the increase in the ‘oldest’ old that is going to be the most dramatic. Second, all of the nursing homes (NHs) examined in this research – both public and private – are in receipt of a quasi-subvention by the state; and third, Irish policy-makers have moved away from the traditional public provision of nursing home (NH) care in favour of incentivising private delivery. As the costs of long-term care (LTC) are expected to increase considerably as the population ages, the estimation of technical efficiencies is essential in assessing whether NHs can utilize their resources more efficiently in order to reduce their costs of care. This research is the first attempt to investigate the efficiency of nursing home services using Irish data. This thesis measures and appra...

Towards a Restraint Free Environment in Nursing Homes
(2011)

Abstract:
Towards a Restraint Free Environment in Nursing Homes Equality, fairness, respect, dignity, autonomy and participation are core values that underpin human rights. In residential care settings for older people we require that human rights are positively incorporated into the reality of people's lives.In 2009 the National Quality Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People were approved. At the heart of these standards, and the regulations underpinning them, is the belief that these residential settings are peoples homes, and every possible effort must be made to ensure that the residents can live their lives to the fullest extent possible and enjoy their time there.

Living in Care: Older Persons Experiences of Nursing Homes
(2005)
Galvin, Cathy; De Roiste, Aine
Abstract:
A sample of 40 older persons, (30 female; 10 male) half of whom resided in public and half of whom resided in private nursing homes across Cork city and county participated in the study. Participants were interviewed about their experience of entering and living in nursing home care. The qualitative data yielded from the interviews identified that the majority of the sample entered into care due to poor physical or mental health. The features of residential care reported that were liked were an enhanced sense of security, the company of others and being looked after. The features of residential care reported that were disliked were the lack of control over ones daily life and residential care being a very 'public experience' characterised by a lack of privacy

Abstract:
Purpose ? This study aims to contribute to improving quality of life for people with end stage dementia living in residential care settings by investigating the experiences of elderly spouses whose relatives died with end-stage dementia in nursing homes in both Northern Ireland (NI) and the Republic of Ireland (RoI). A second aim is to develop guidelines for nursing home staff for the delivery of quality care in residents with end stage dementia in residential institutions. Design/methodology/approach ? This study had two phases. Phase one involved conducting in-depth qualitative interviews with spouse caregivers whose relatives had died from dementia in long stay care environments. Phase two entailed incorporating the information gathered through the in-depth interviews into draft guidelines and disseminating these to a multi-disciplinary group of health service professionals for their critical appraisal and ratification. Findings ? Findings showed that the EOL care delivered was d...

Technical and scale efficiency in public and private Irish nursing homes a bootstrap DEA approach
(2016)
Ni Luasa, Shiovan; Dineen, Declan; Zieba, Marta
Abstract:
This article provides methodological and empirical insights into the estimation of technical efficiency in the nursing home sector. Focusing on long-stay care and using primary data, we examine technical and scale efficiency in 39 public and 73 private Irish nursing homes by applying an input-oriented data envelopment analysis (DEA). We employ robust bootstrap methods to validate our nonparametric DEA scores and to integrate the effects of potential determinants in estimating the efficiencies. Both the homogenous and two-stage double bootstrap procedures are used to obtain confidence intervals for the bias-corrected DEA scores. Importantly, the application of the double bootstrap approach affords true DEA technical efficiency scores after adjusting for the effects of ownership, size, case-mix, and other determinants such as location, and quality. Based on our DEA results for variable returns to scale technology, the average technical efficiency score is 62%, and the mean scale ...

Abstract:
Purpose: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), sickness absence and premature retirement are highly prevalent among eldercare workers. We conducted a prospective observational workplace study with the main purpose to investigate longitudinal associations between physical and psychosocial working conditions and occurrence of MSD and its consequences (pain-related interference with daily work activities and sickness absence) among Danish eldercare workers. Participants: At 20 Danish nursing homes, a total of 941 eldercare workers employed in day and evening shifts were invited to the study. Of those, 553 participated in the baseline measurements, and 441 completed the total period of 12 months follow-up. Findings to date: Data were collected from September 2013 to January 2016. Physical and psychosocial working conditions were assessed with multiple methods (observations, accelerometer measurements and work schedules), and multiple levels of information (nursing home, ward, resident and e...
