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.
What the latest inspection found
Tara Winthrop Private Clinic provides nursing care for residents with varying levels of dependency and has mostly positive feedback from residents about staff and food. However, some residents experience delays in call-bell responses and concerns about staff handling. The environment is generally well-maintained but some areas, especially one unit, had cleanliness issues that were addressed immediately. Management has made improvements but some oversight and reporting issues remain.

What residents said
“the nurses are terrific”
“the food is very good - I actually like it too much!”
“they come down to me but when they hear I need to go to the toilet, they go off again. They tell me they will be back, but they might not come back. They don't take it seriously”
“the toilet is a problem. Staff need to bring me to the toilet and they take a long time. I could be waiting an hour”
Staffing
There was at least one registered nurse on duty at all times. Daytime staffing levels were generally sufficient, but some staff felt evening staffing was inadequate to meet residents' needs promptly. Staff reported improved support and workplace culture since the last inspection.
Activities
Residents have access to a range of activities and social opportunities, including an activities schedule, newspapers, books, radios, internet, and televisions. However, some residents were unaware of the daily activity schedule and its locations.
Food
Meals are freshly prepared on-site with choices offered at each mealtime. Residents generally enjoy the food and find portions adequate. Snacks and drinks are provided regularly throughout the day.
