Method v1. It uses only HIQA's published judgments, not our opinion, and is recalculated whenever a new report is published.
Unit 1 St Stephen's Hospital is a dementia-specific unit with mostly three-bedded rooms and one single room used for end-of-life or isolation. The home provides 24-hour nursing care but has challenges with staffing, including heavy reliance on agency staff. Food is prepared off-site, frozen, and reheated, which affects quality and choice. Residents receive good medical care but have limited social activities and privacy concerns due to shared bathrooms and institutional environment. Governance and management issues have impacted the quality and safety of care.

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.
This home doesn't appear on the current HSE price lists. It may not take Fair Deal residents. Phone the home to ask.
