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

Hollymount Private Nursing and Retirement Home is a clean, well-managed 36-bed facility where residents generally feel happy and safe. Residents have access to various health services and enjoy activities and outings. However, some hygiene practices and documentation need improvement, such as hand-washing procedures and care plans. The home offers a mix of single and twin rooms and has several communal areas and a garden.

Palliative care

What inspectors liked

Residents reported feeling happy and content living in the home.
There are multiple communal rooms and an enclosed garden for residents to enjoy.
Residents have access to a wide range of health and social care professionals.
The home conducts regular audits and holds monthly governance meetings to improve quality and safety.
Residents are involved in decision-making through meetings and feedback surveys.

What needed to improve

Some staff were observed not following correct hand-washing procedures, risking cross infection.
Shared bathrooms lacked proper sanitary facilities like toilet roll holders and bins with lids or foot pedals.
Care plans sometimes lacked detailed, individualised information, especially for food preferences and diabetes management.
Nursing documentation at end-of-life care was insufficiently detailed.
Lint drawer was full while dryer was operating, posing a fire risk due to ineffective monitoring.

What residents said

“I am happy here, it's nice”
“My room is lovely, I have a single room”
“It's a good place generally, I go out for a walk, but I would like to be able to go out more”
“Food was good, you can ask for what you want”
“The food is grand, but it might not always be what you want”

Staffing: The staff team includes registered nurses, healthcare assistants, catering, housekeeping, laundry, activities coordinator, and maintenance. Staffing levels and skill mix are appropriate for residents' needs. All nurses are registered and staff are up-to-date with mandatory training, though some hand hygiene practices need improvement.
Activities: Residents have access to an activities room and communal areas, with an activity schedule displayed. Some prefer individual activities. Trips to local amenities and events are planned. Religious services and hairdressing are available regularly.
Food: Mealtimes are relaxed with most residents dining in the dining room. Residents are offered choices from the menu and alternatives if needed. Fresh drinking water is always available. Opinions on food quality vary among residents.
Dementia: There is evidence of effective communication with residents living with dementia, but care plans do not always reflect individual communication needs sufficiently.
