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

Rush Nursing Home is a purpose-built facility providing 24-hour nursing care for up to 56 residents with various needs including dementia and palliative care. Residents generally feel safe and have their rights respected, but some staff practices limit residents' independence, such as removing walking aids from their reach. The food is good with choices available, and residents are supported during meals. Staffing levels are adequate for clinical care but insufficient for housekeeping and activities, leading to some areas not being cleaned and activities being limited. The home is well maintained and residents have opportunities to express their views through meetings and complaints processes.
