Killarney Nursing Home is a purpose-built centre in Killarney town that provides care for up to 56 residents, including long-term, respite, palliative, convalescent, and dementia care. Residents and visitors spoke positively about the care and homely atmosphere. The centre has a good range of activities and attentive staff, with clean, personalised rooms all having en-suite facilities. However, there are some concerns about record keeping, visitor access outside reception hours, and ensuring all care plans are fully updated to reflect residents' changing needs.

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.
