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

Padre Pio Care Centre is a purpose-built, single-storey nursing home in Churchtown, North Cork, with 47 single ensuite rooms. On inspection day, 20 residents were living there and all were very happy and settling in well. Staff were kind, compassionate, and knew residents' routines and preferences. The centre offers a varied activity program including outings, and residents enjoy the large accessible gardens. The environment balances privacy and social connection, with bright, homely rooms and plenty of communal spaces.

Long-term care

What inspectors liked

All 47 bedrooms are single rooms with ensuite shower, toilet, and wash hand basin, providing privacy and comfort.
Staff are kind, compassionate, and provide care in a respectful and unhurried manner, knowing residents well.
There is a varied, individualised activity programme including outings and social events like bingo and karaoke.
Residents expressed feeling safe and well cared for, with one saying staff were "competent and trustworthy".
Meals offer plenty of choice and are well presented; residents praised the food quality and dining experience.

What needed to improve

Some bedrooms had call bells placed too far from the bed, making them inaccessible to residents.
In some bedrooms, beds were against walls with electrical sockets at eye level, posing a safety and fire risk.
Some shower outlets in vacant rooms required repair and cleaning to prevent injury or hygiene issues.
Two fire escape doors had locks removed leaving holes that needed attention to maintain safety and security.

What residents said

“competent and trustworthy”
“it is like being in a hotel lobby, while we sit here relaxing and reading the paper with new friends around”
“it couldn't be better”
“plenty of choice”

Staffing: Staffing levels on the day were adequate for the centre's size and layout, with nursing, care assistants, and other support staff. The person in charge works full time and is supported by an assistant director of nursing and clinical nurse managers. Staffing is reviewed regularly based on occupancy and resident needs, with plans to increase nursing staff as occupancy grows.
Activities: There is a varied, individualised activity programme including outings every two weeks, bingo, ball throwing, balloon games, karaoke, and social events. Activities staff know residents' interests and encourage participation in a kind manner. Residents can choose how to spend their day and have access to internet and newspapers.
Food: Meals are wholesome, nutritious, and varied, with plenty of choice including fresh fruit and yogurts. Staff assist residents as needed during meals. Modified diets are provided as recommended by dietitians and speech and language therapists. Residents praised the food quality and dining experience.
