How to compare nursing homes in Kilkenny
There is no single official ranking of the “best” nursing home. Price is only one factor and does not measure quality. For each home, check whether it can meet the person's care needs, how easy it is for family to visit, current availability, and the latest HIQA inspection findings.
Open any home in the table above for its HSE weekly price, address, phone number, registered places and a direct link to its HIQA inspection reports where available.
