Birr Community Nursing Unit nursing home: price, Fair Deal & HIQA
The weekly price is the HSE's published maximum agreed rate for this home, 3 July 2026.
What would your family actually pay at Birr Community Nursing Unit?
Fair Deal doesn't charge you the €1,876/week sticker price. It works out a contribution from the person's own income and assets, and the HSE pays the rest of the approved price. The contribution is set by the means test, not by the home — so a dearer approved home does not, on its own, mean your family pays more.
