Parents and families of residents at St Patricks Centre in Kilkenny say the staff there deliver first class care.
But they say without adequate funding its difficult to address the issues that have arisen.
Our Ladys Unit in the centre was forced to close last Friday after a court order was issued.
The HSE has now released emergency funding to address concerns there including fire safety risks and staffing levels.
Families of residents shared their stories on KCLR Live today and had high praise for staff at the facility.
