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

New Ross Community Hospital provides a warm, clean, and caring environment for its 34 residents, with staff who are kind and attentive. Residents enjoy a variety of activities, good food, and have access to outdoor spaces. While the care and management are strong, some parts of the building are showing wear and need repair, and storage of equipment is not always ideal.

What inspectors liked

Residents praised the staff as terrific and very caring.
The centre offers a variety of activities including pet therapy, exercise, and games.
Meals are home-cooked, nutritious, and residents are offered choices.
Staff are well trained in safeguarding, infection control, and respond promptly to residents' needs.
Governance and management systems effectively monitor quality and safety, with regular audits and meetings.

What needed to improve

Some areas of the building are in poor repair with chipped paint, damaged doors, and worn handrails.
Inappropriate storage of equipment like hoists and wheelchairs in bathrooms and toilets was observed.
The shower room in the south wing is used partly for storage, reducing its availability for residents.
Parts of the premises do not fully meet regulatory standards for maintenance and storage.

What residents said

“you won't get the like of these staff anywhere”
“the staff were too good”
“the staff were terrific”

Staffing: Staffing levels on the day were sufficient with at least one registered nurse and two healthcare assistants on duty at all times. Staff have up-to-date training and are supervised by a nurse management team.
Activities: Residents have access to a varied activities programme including chair exercises, quizzes, pet therapy with a budgie, bingo, art, and music. Some residents prefer quiet activities like reading or watching TV.
Food: Meals are prepared on-site, home-cooked, nutritious, and residents are offered a choice of main meal. Dining is a relaxed and social experience with drinks and snacks offered throughout the day.
