The Social Services Inspectorate of the Health Information and Quality Authority carries out inspections of HSE children's residential centres under Section 69 (2) of the Child Care Act 1991. Following this a report of the inspection is produced with recommendations for improvements, if required. Reports from inspections are published on HIQA's website http://www.hiqa.ie/and are forwarded to the centre inspected and the HSE local area manager, where relevant. An action plan to achieve the recommendations is requested from the service provider.

Grove Lodge is a new centre, established since January 2009. Grove Lodge amalgamated the services previously provided by Park View and St. Jude's in Dublin North Central – both of which had been inspected by the Authority. As part of its ongoing schedule of on-site inspections, an inspection date for Grove House had already been set by the Authority and will take place on May 14th 2009.
