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.
Kenmare Nursing Home provides a good standard of care with kind and caring staff. The home has a mix of single and twin rooms, some with en suite facilities. Residents enjoy sociable mealtimes and have access to various health services including physiotherapy. However, some issues were found with premises maintenance, infection control practices, and limited evening activities. Management systems need strengthening, especially around complaints and residents' meetings.
