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

St Teresa's Nursing Home in Cashel provides 24-hour nursing care for up to 30 residents, including those with high dependency and cognitive impairments. The building is an old convent with some challenges like narrow corridors and small bedrooms, which affect privacy and use of equipment. Residents generally expressed contentment with care, food, and staffing. The home offers communal spaces and activities, but some areas feel cold or clinical. While care plans are person-centred, improvements are needed in premises, privacy, infection control, and governance oversight.

Long-term care
Dementia care

What inspectors liked

Residents were content with staffing levels, food quality, and personal care.
There is 24-hour nursing care with a registered nurse always on duty.
The home has a variety of communal spaces including a large day room, sitting room, library, and conservatory.
An activities programme is in place with daily activities and access to radios, TVs, newspapers, and live-streamed Mass.
Improvements have been made in infection prevention and control, including cleaning routines and availability of PPE.

What needed to improve

The building's old design causes narrow corridors and small bedrooms, limiting privacy and use of equipment.
Some twin bedrooms do not provide adequate privacy or space for residents and equipment.
The décor and furnishings in bedrooms and communal areas feel clinical and not homely.
There were lapses in governance, including incomplete staff records, insufficient audit systems, and delayed incident notifications.
Food safety concerns were noted, such as egg sandwiches left out unrefrigerated for hours.

What residents said

“Residents were content living in the centre and satisfied with staffing levels, the quality of the food, and attention to personal care.”
“A visitor gave very positive feedback on the care provided to their relative.”

Staffing: Staffing levels and skill mix were appropriate for the 19 residents on the day of inspection, with at least one registered nurse on duty at all times. Additional catering and laundry staff had been recruited, and staff had up-to-date mandatory training and supervision.
Activities: An activity schedule is in place with daily activities including games, sensory activities, and live-streamed Mass. Residents have access to radios, TVs, newspapers, and a dog visits the day room. However, more community engagement is needed.
Food: Meals are prepared on-site with a menu offering two choices for starters, mains, and desserts. Residents praised the food and enjoyed sociable mealtimes. However, food safety practices need improvement, such as proper storage of prepared food.
Dementia: About 60% of residents had cognitive impairment and were appropriately dressed and groomed. Staff demonstrated good knowledge of residents' assessed needs, including those with dementia.

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.
