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.

Little Flower Nursing Home provides a good standard of care and a pleasant living environment for its residents. The home is purpose-built with mostly single and twin rooms, and offers a variety of communal spaces and a secure garden. Residents feel safe, well cared for, and enjoy social activities and good food. However, some areas of the building need repair and cleaning, and there are concerns about fire safety measures and the management of complaints and personal belongings.
