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.
Retreat Nursing Home is a well-run, calm, and homely place where residents receive kind and individualised care. Residents feel safe and enjoy a good quality of life with access to activities, gardens, and communal spaces. Staff are attentive and know residents' preferences well. However, some improvements are needed in care planning and medication management to ensure all residents' needs are consistently reviewed and safe medication practices are followed.
