What to look for when visiting
Six things families tell us they wish they'd known before their first tour.
Staff warmth & ratio
Notice how staff interact with residents. Ask about carer-to-resident ratios and overnight staffing.
Cleanliness & smell
The home should be clean, tidy and odour-free — pay attention to communal areas, corridors and bathrooms.
Activities & social life
Ask to see the weekly activities schedule — meaningful activities are key to residents' wellbeing.
Food & mealtimes
Ask about meal choices, dietary needs, and whether residents eat together in a dining room.
HIQA inspection reports
Ask to see recent HIQA reports — they're public and give an independent view of quality.
Costs & contracts
Ask for a full breakdown of fees, what's included, and review the contract carefully before signing.
