On December 28th, a rally took place in Camp over the future of West Kerry's only private residential nursing home. Management of the Aperee Living Nursing Home, also known as Ocean View in Camp, was transferred from the private provider to the HSE in September following serious governance issues raised by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA).
The 35-bed care home, is due to be sold to another company, Riada Care Ltd.
However, the sale is dependent on its re-registration with the Chief Inspector of Social Services of HIQA.
