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.
St Joseph's Unit in Bantry General Hospital provides a good standard of care with kind and compassionate staff. Residents generally feel safe and their rights and privacy are respected, though some are woken early in the morning. The centre has mostly single rooms with en-suite facilities and offers a range of activities during the week, but weekend activities are limited. The outdoor terrace is poorly maintained and some rooms were uncomfortably warm due to ongoing building works. Infection control practices are generally good but need some improvements.
