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.
Waterford Residential Care Centre is a new, purpose-built home with 80 single ensuite bedrooms, offering 24-hour nursing care including continuing care and respite. Residents generally feel well cared for and describe the home as homely and first class. The centre has good communal spaces and outdoor areas, but some maintenance issues and safety concerns were noted, such as uneven paving and call bell accessibility. While activities and food are provided, some residents feel there is limited variety and insufficient activities, especially for those not attending group sessions. The management structure is clear, and staffing levels are adequate, but some training gaps and oversight issues need addressing.
