The HSE is to take charge of Aperee Living nursing home in Camp, that had been privately run.
The health body will assume responsibility for the Aperee Living facility in Camp from next Wednesday.
HIQA, the health watchdog, says its chief inspector of social services made a decision to cancel the registration of Aperee Living Camp arising from serious concerns about the governance and management of the centre, and the impact on the care and welfare of residents.
The Health Information and Quality Authority adds that in line with the provisions of the Health Act 2007, the Health Service Executive will take charge of the nursing home from next Wednesday, September 11th.
Deputy Michael Healy-Rae says the move is no reflection on the staff and management working in Aperee Living nursing home in Camp, he said the people working on the ground there are giving excellent service to the community.
He said reports should reflect the care and consideration shown to residents.
At one stage, Aperee Living had seven nursing homes in Ireland.
These included two facilities in Kerry, one in Camp and the other in Tralee.
