Inspections covered centres run by Delta Centre, Waterford Intellectual Disability Association, Prosper Fingal, St Hilda's Services, St John of God, St Joseph's Foundation, St Michael's House, Sunbeam House Services, The Rehab Group, and Western Care Association. While many centres showed good practice, including efforts to reduce restrictive practices and promote resident autonomy, several required improvements in areas such as staff training and safeguarding.
