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

Beneavin Lodge Nursing Home is a clean, bright, and well-run centre with 63 residents. Residents and visitors say staff are kind and caring. There are good group activities and access to medical care. However, some residents are left unsupervised briefly during staff breaks, and more one-to-one activities could be offered. The management is mostly effective but needs to improve staff recruitment checks and supervision during breaks.

What inspectors liked

Residents said they were well looked after and staff are very kind
The centre is bright, clean, and has a secure garden accessible to residents
Group activities like laughter therapy and live music are popular and well attended
Residents have good access to medical and allied health professionals
Complaints are thoroughly investigated and responded to promptly

What needed to improve

Residents were left unsupervised for short periods during staff breaks, especially in the Iona unit
One-to-one activities for residents who do not join group activities need more focus
The person in charge's file lacked the required two references, only one was provided
Staff allocation during break times needs review to ensure resident supervision at all times
Some recruitment practices do not fully meet regulatory requirements

What residents said

“well looked after”
“staff are very kind”
“the staff here are wonderful”
“I enjoyed the activities and look forward to the schedule”

Staffing: There were sufficient staff on the day of inspection, including nurses and healthcare assistants, though three healthcare assistant vacancies were covered by agency staff. Staff training was up to date. However, staff allocation during break times needs review to ensure residents are supervised at all times.
Activities: There is a varied weekly activities programme including group activities like laughter therapy, live music, and hand and nail care. Some residents watch TV or do puzzles. More one-to-one activities are needed for residents who do not join group sessions.
Food: Residents were observed having breakfast in their rooms or communal areas. No specific concerns or details about food choice were mentioned.
Dementia: The centre provides care for residents with dementia and has appropriate staff training and care plans in place.
