St Joseph's Hospital is a large, purpose-built nursing home near Cork city with 103 residents. The building and rooms are clean, bright, and well-maintained, with many single rooms having en-suite facilities. Residents enjoy a variety of activities and have good access to healthcare and religious services. However, recent staffing reductions have led to delays in care, and residents sometimes have to wait for assistance. Management systems have not effectively addressed these issues, and residents were not always informed about staffing changes.

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.
