60 protest against Aperee Living nursing home closure due to HSE concerns over fire safety, staffing, and governance.

60 staff and family members protested the closure of Aperee Living, a Co Kilkenny nursing home being shut down by the HSE. Residents (43 in total) were informed that the facility would close within 5-6 weeks, with moves to other facilities planned. The HSE took over the nursing home last November following concerns over fire safety, staffing levels, and overall governance. Staff members claim there is a lack of information on the situation.
