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

Castlebridge Manor Nursing Home is a modern, well-maintained facility with mostly single rooms that have en-suite bathrooms. Residents and visitors spoke very positively about the care, staff, food, and activities. The home offers a range of care including dementia and palliative care. Staff are well trained and responsive. Some concerns were noted about privacy due to CCTV in communal areas and loud, repetitive music in dayrooms and dining rooms that affected residents' comfort during meals.

What inspectors liked

The centre is purpose-built, clean, bright, and well-maintained with attractive gardens accessible to residents.
Residents praised the staff and quality of care, describing the centre as '100%' and staff as 'couldn't be more excellent'.
There is a varied activities programme including music, arts and crafts, exercise sessions, and special events like pony visits and bird showcases.
Food is homemade with good choice and quality; residents can request meals not on the menu.
Staff are well trained in safeguarding, responsive behaviours, and infection control, with good oversight and clinical supervision.

What needed to improve

CCTV is used in communal areas and monitored from the nurses' station, which impacts residents' privacy.
Music played in the dayroom is a loud, repetitive 'disco mix' that is not relaxing and can be heard in dining rooms during meals, making the environment uncomfortable for some residents.
Some residents' contracts did not clearly state the fees they pay, causing confusion about costs.
