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

The Village Residence is a nursing home in Drogheda providing care mainly for older adults, including those with advanced dementia. Residents generally feel safe and well cared for, with enough staff on duty and good food and activities available. The home is clean, well-decorated, and has pleasant communal areas and gardens. However, inspectors found some issues with residents not always having access to their call-bells, which could affect their ability to get help when needed. Some care plans did not fully reflect residents' needs, and there were concerns about the management of financial records for a non-resident. Outings for residents had been suspended due to funding but were planned to resume.
