I understand about the sheltered housing, but it is an area of real concern that is not covered by HIQA.

Some people feel comfortable with sheltered housing. However, I have found that a lot of families are pushing people into these places for monetary gain or otherwise. A lot of pressure is put on people so someone needs to monitor this issue in a better way but I understand that HIQA covers care centres and stuff like that.End of Take
