Farranlea Road Community Nursing Unit in Cork is a large, two-storey nursing home with 85 residents during inspection. Residents generally felt well cared for, describing staff as helpful and kind, and appreciated the privacy of single rooms. The home offers 24-hour nursing care with access to various health professionals. However, some issues were noted such as overcrowded dining rooms, limited activities on some days, and privacy concerns in shared rooms. The management has improved oversight but some staff training and record-keeping need attention. The premises require repairs and better maintenance to ensure safety and comfort.

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.
