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

St. Peter's Nursing Home is a purpose-built facility offering care to 66 residents, including a 20-bed dementia unit. Residents generally appeared happy and spoke positively about the kindness of staff and the cleanliness of their rooms. The home has recently refurbished communal areas and increased activity staff, which residents appreciated. However, inspectors found significant concerns with management oversight, staff training, medication management, and residents' rights, particularly regarding call-bell access and safety practices.
