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.
Duleek Care Centre provides a calm, safe, and respectful environment for up to 121 residents, with 118 present during inspection. All bedrooms are single with en-suite facilities, and residents have access to communal areas and secure gardens. Residents and relatives spoke positively about the care, staff attentiveness, and activities offered. The centre is well-staffed, clean, and promotes residents' rights and dignity. Some improvements are needed in audit follow-up, but overall care and safety are good.
