According to the families, if the government do not intervene their relatives face a real risk of eviction from the Cork nursing home.
THE FAMILIES OF residents who are living in nursing home Beaumont Residential Care in Cork protested outside the Dáil today to plead with the Taoiseach and ministers from Cork to intervene in funding negotiations.
The company’s CEO Stuart Murphy said earlier this month that negotiations between the home and the National Treatment Purchase Fund, who negotiates rates with private nursing homes on behalf of the HSE, were not going well. Fiona said: “We want the nursing home to be properly funded. Funded to the same level that the HSE funded homes are.
Yannis, another family member of a resident, said if they were to be moved it would have a “huge impact”.“We’d have to look for other places. They are settled and moving them at this stage is not easy, it’s not something that they will accept,” Yannis said. The crowd gathered outside the Dáil on Kildare Street with large orange banners that read “Help Save Beaumont Residential Care, Cork”, “Please Save All Our Loved Ones Futures” and “It’s our Nursing Home Today, It’s your Nursing Home Tomorrow”.
She added it is “obviously not sustainable” that CareChoice do not receive additional funding and that the trend in nursing homes closing down highlights the urgent need for this funding.
