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.
St Augustine's Community Nursing Unit is a 33-bed centre in Ballina providing care for older people with physical frailty, dementia, mental health, and palliative needs. Residents generally felt happy and well cared for, describing the centre as "lovely" and staff as "very helpful." The environment is bright and residents can move freely, but some areas need refurbishment and cleaning standards vary. Activities were limited on the inspection day, with some residents feeling the day was long. Infection control practices and management oversight require improvement, including better staff supervision and notification of incidents.
