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

Carechoice Montenotte is a large nursing home in Cork with 105 residents during inspection. Residents generally felt safe and cared for, and staff were kind and respectful. The home offers a variety of activities and good food, including special dining experiences. However, some issues remain with staffing levels at night, the dining environment, and some residents lacking call bells in their rooms. The management has improved but some areas need further attention to ensure consistent quality and safety.

Long-term care
Respite
Convalescence

What inspectors liked

Residents felt safe and cared for by kind and respectful staff.
A diverse and organized activities program including laughter yoga, bingo, and outings.
Good quality food with menu choices and special dining experiences like themed couples lunches.
Improved management structure with senior management support and regular staff training.
Robust complaints management system with prompt responses.

What needed to improve

Night staffing levels on the ground floor were insufficient, causing nurses to be pulled from duties to assist residents.
Some residents had to eat meals on bed tables in day rooms due to limited dining space, reducing social interaction.
The dining room on the top floor (Roches Point) was not homely and had industrial equipment visible.
Some residents' rooms lacked call bells, limiting their ability to summon help.
Restraint use was not properly monitored or recorded, risking inadequate oversight.

What residents said

“the staff are very helpful, i feel minded and safe here”
“its very fancy, like being out in the city”

Staffing: Staffing levels were generally improved with a robust training program and senior management support. However, night staffing on the ground floor was insufficient, with only one nurse and one care staff after 8pm, causing disruption to nursing duties.
Activities: A varied activities program including laughter yoga, bingo, coffee mornings, music and singing, and outings to local community events. Activities take place in multiple venues throughout the centre.
Food: Residents praised the quality and choice of food. A new 'fine dining experience' is offered in a parlour with themed lunches. Assistance is provided respectfully to those who need it.
