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

Gorey Care Centre is a clean, purpose-built home with single ensuite rooms and a secure courtyard. Residents and visitors spoke positively about the kind and helpful staff and the quality of care. There are plenty of activities and choices for residents, including meals and social events. Some areas like staff training and fire safety drills need improvement, but overall residents are well cared for and supported.

Staffing: Staffing levels and skill mix were appropriate to meet residents' needs both day and night. Staffing was adjusted as occupancy increased. There was a comprehensive training schedule, though some gaps were noted in safeguarding and managing responsive behaviours.
Activities: Dedicated activities staff provide a variety of daily activities such as reading, painting, bingo, sing-alongs, and 1:1 sessions. Residents also enjoy social events in the activities room and courtyard, with access to TV, WiFi, and newspapers.
Food: Residents have a choice of meals including modified diets, with high quality food served in nicely decorated dining rooms. Assistance is provided respectfully. Some residents found the dining room too warm at lunchtime and preferred regular salt and pepper shakers instead of small packets.
Dementia: Has a dedicated dementia unit. The centre provides dementia care and has a secure courtyard accessible to all residents. Staff are trained to support residents with dementia needs.
