Home ‘extremely cluttered’ with woman apparently lacking insight into self-neglect

As a result, the HSE applied to the High Court president, Mr Justice David Barniville, for orders allowing for her transfer to hospital for appropriate treatment.A psychiatrist who had visited her in her home said once admitted to the local hospital, she received intravenous antibiotics and the wound in her foot was cleaned. The part of her slipper that was embedded did not have to be surgically removed and came off itself allowing for the wound cleaning.

She was, however, happy to stay in hospital and to go into a nursing home temporarily for continued treatment convalescence. She had also been affected some years ago by the death of her father and found the pandemic lockdown extremely difficult because she was unable to go out and later simply did not want to go out, the doctor said.
