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 Fionnan's Community Nursing Unit is a well-managed, single-storey home in Achill Sound that provides long-term and respite care for up to 30 residents, including those with dementia and end-of-life needs. Residents feel safe, well cared for, and enjoy a homely environment with access to gardens and local amenities. However, the home is currently operating below capacity due to staffing shortages, which has led to reliance on agency staff and a temporary halt on new admissions. The premises are clean and comfortable, with good food and activities, but some maintenance and fire safety record-keeping need improvement.
