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

The Residence Carton is a large, purpose-built nursing home with mostly single en-suite rooms, providing long-term, respite, and stepdown care. Residents and visitors generally feel happy with the care, food, and staff kindness. The home is clean and well-organized, with good infection control practices, though some areas need improvement such as damaged surfaces, hand hygiene facilities, and storage practices. Residents have access to activities, healthcare, and can meet visitors freely. Management is clear and responsive, with good staff training and complaint handling.

What inspectors liked

Residents reported receiving good care and were very happy living in the centre.
Food was complimented by residents with a good selection and choice available.
Staff were knowledgeable about residents' needs and preferences.
There was a robust activities schedule with plenty to do, including live music and outings.
Complaints were handled well with investigations and feedback to complainants.

What needed to improve

Some furniture, doors, and wall surfaces were damaged, making effective cleaning difficult.
Alcohol hand gel was not always available at point of care, limiting timely hand hygiene.
Storage of clean linen was inappropriate, risking contamination.
Carpeted areas, including corridors and some bedrooms, hinder effective cleaning and infection control.
The National Transfer Document lacked details on infections, risking poor communication during hospital transfers.
