Due to staffing shortages, the Áras Mhic Dara Nursing Home in Carraroe is unable to fill all of its available beds.
Despite thirty-eight beds being registered with HIQA, just twenty-nine are currently open to admission.
In a recruitment campaign held in May, 1 of 3 available positions were filled, after 36 candidates were screened.
According to the HSE, there is currently a waiting list of 12 people for the unit.
