How we calculate this score

Every regulation HIQA judged on an inspection earns points: Compliant 100, Substantially compliant 65, Not compliant 25.
Where the compliance plan rates the risk of a failing regulation, orange (moderate risk) takes off 15 more points and red (high risk) takes off 40. Yellow (low risk) takes off nothing.
An inspection's score is the average over the regulations it looked at.
A home's score combines its last 3 inspections: the newest counts for 50%, the one before for 30% and the one before that for 20%. With fewer inspections the weights are scaled up to 100%.
The trend compares the newest inspection's score with the average of the earlier ones: 5 points or more higher is improving, 5 or more lower is declining, anything else is stable.
Homes are ranked by score within their county and among scored homes within 25 km. Homes with the same score share a rank.

Method v1. It uses only HIQA's published judgments, not our opinion, and is recalculated whenever a new report is published.

What the latest inspection found

Adare and District Nursing Home in Limerick provides 24-hour nursing care for up to 84 residents, including a memory care unit called The Willows. Residents generally feel well cared for and describe the staff as "top class" and "fabulous." The home offers a warm, homely environment with personalised rooms and access to gardens and communal areas. While clinical care and staff training are good, some parts of the building, such as flooring and fire doors, are in poor repair and need attention.
