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

Rosemount House Nursing Home provides 24-hour care for up to 40 residents in single and twin rooms. Residents generally feel happy and safe, and staff are kind and caring. However, the building is in poor condition with damaged flooring and furniture, and fire safety issues remain unresolved. The management has not effectively addressed these problems despite previous warnings. Meals have improved with choices offered, but supervision during mealtimes is lacking, especially for residents eating in their rooms. Activities are limited and not well organized.

What inspectors liked

Residents reported feeling happy and safe living in the centre.
Staff interactions with residents were consistently respectful and kind.
There was a choice of meals offered daily and menus were displayed.
Residents described staff as friendly and caring.
A musician attended the centre and religious prayer was facilitated daily.

What needed to improve

Damaged flooring throughout the centre poses a trip hazard and cannot be effectively cleaned.
Fire safety issues remain, including fire doors wedged open and blocked fire exits.
Poor upkeep of the premises with damaged walls, furniture, and poorly maintained outdoor areas.
Inadequate supervision of residents during mealtimes, especially those eating in their bedrooms.
Lack of clear governance and management structure leading to poor risk escalation and unresolved issues.

What residents said

“I felt that things had improved in the last few months with regard to the waiting time for care.”
“The food was of good quality and I enjoyed my meal.”
“There was plenty of things to do in the centre and I had things to keep me busy.”
“I liked to get up early to have my breakfast and it was always delivered as soon as I requested it.”

Staffing: Staffing levels and skill mix were appropriate for residents' needs, with additional staff added to night and day shifts since the last inspection. However, staff had not received up-to-date fire safety or manual handling training, and supervision of care delivery was poor.
Activities: There was no formal activity schedule. Residents had occasional music sessions and religious services, but many spent long periods in their rooms or watching TV with little engagement.
Food: Meals were wholesome and nutritious with daily choices and menus displayed. Some residents ate in the dining room, but many had meals on trays in their rooms or the day room with poor supervision.
