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

Queen of Peace Nursing Home is a calm and respectful place where residents generally feel well cared for and safe. Residents like the food and find staff kind and helpful. However, there are concerns about the lack of activities on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and some care plans and wound care need better oversight to ensure residents get the care they need. Privacy issues exist in some shared rooms, and residents sometimes miss out on personal consultations with specialists.

What residents said

“staff are kind and helpful”
“the care here is good”
“the food is nice”

Staffing: The centre has registered nurses, healthcare assistants, and part-time activity coordinators. However, there is no activities coordinator on duty on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and staffing levels do not support providing activities on those days. There is a vacant clinical nurse manager post being planned to fill.
Activities: Residents participate in group activities like word quizzes and individual preferred activities during the week. However, there are insufficient activities on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, despite residents requesting more on Fridays.
Food: Residents are offered a varied menu with choices and alternatives. Meals are served in a homely dining room, and staff assist residents as needed. Residents said the food is good and they can ask for different options if they wish.
