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.
St Catherine's Nursing Home in Newcastle West, Limerick, provides care for up to 73 residents, mostly older adults but also younger adults over 18. The home is a large two-story building with mostly single bedrooms and some shared rooms, many with en-suite facilities. Residents generally praised the staff and quality of care, especially the food and medical support. However, there were concerns about the frequency of activities, privacy in shared rooms, and some fire safety and infection control issues. Staffing levels were adequate for nursing care but insufficient for activities, with only one full-time activities coordinator for all residents.
