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.

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.

Residents generally feel safe and well cared for, with staff being kind and respectful. However, there are concerns about limited meaningful social activities, especially in the dementia unit, and inadequate dining facilities in one unit. Staff have training in safeguarding but lack skills and supervision to fully support residents' social needs.

Leadership and management
Persons in chargeCompliant
Staff lack appropriate training and supervision to support residents' social care needs.
Safeguarding plans are not consistently developed for residents with known risks, especially in peer-to-peer incidents.
Risk management policy lacks details on controls for several key risks.
What residents said
“I continued my usual routine before coming to live in the centre with getting up early in the morning.”
“I was eating my meal while sitting in a comfort chair because there was not enough room at the dining table.”
Staffing
There are enough staff on each unit, but many lack the skills to provide meaningful social activities, especially for residents with complex needs or dementia. Staff supervision is inadequate to ensure quality social care.
Activities
Social activities are limited, especially in the dementia unit. Residents often sit quietly or sleep during the day with few meaningful options. Staff are not trained or supervised to provide adequate social care.
Food
Adequate food and fluids are provided, but in Dr McGarry unit, not all residents can eat at a dining table due to limited space, affecting their comfort and choice.
Dementia
Has a dedicated dementia unit. Monsignor Young unit is a specialist dementia unit with controlled access. Residents with dementia receive appropriate care for responsive behaviours, but social activities are limited and not well tailored to their needs.
