On 16 May Lucan Lodge nursing home management informed residents of the de-registration of the facility with HIQA. Families were understandably distressed and sought answers from a HSE representative at a meeting yesterday. They reported that the HSE representative refused to intervene or answer any questions. Lucan Lodge has 73 vulnerable residents, many of whom require significant support and forcing them to relocate would cause immense emotional and physical trauma. Families demand immediate action from the Government to secure Lucan Lodge's future. They want the Government to ask the HSE to acquire Lucan Lodge. This would guarantee long-term stability and prioritise the well-being of the residents.
