This is the most the home can charge a week for residents on the Fair Deal scheme. Under Fair Deal you pay up to 80% of your income and 7.5% of the value of your assets a year, and the State pays the rest. Homes may charge extra for things like activities, hairdressing or newspapers, so ask about these when you call.

Method v1. It uses only HIQA's published judgments, not our opinion, and is recalculated whenever a new report is published.
Carlingford Nursing Home provides 24-hour nursing care for up to 44 residents, including long-term, respite, and convalescence care. Residents told inspectors they felt safe, well cared for, and happy living there. The home is clean, spacious, and well maintained, with a friendly atmosphere and respectful staff. However, some residents felt there were not enough meaningful activities, with too much time spent watching TV and sitting in their rooms.
