Just 11 long term care residents are currently being accommodated at Falcarragh Community Hospital.
The refurbishment of the facility is due to commence in the first quarter of next year which aims to ensure the quality and safety of care and compliance with HIQA regulations.
In a statement, the HSE says the 11 residents are being housed in an already refurbished wing of the hospital while respite admissions since March are no longer being accommodated at Falcarragh Community Hospital, instead they are being facilitated at Dungloe Community Hospital and Aras Gaoth Dobhair Private Nursing Home.
