How much does a nursing home cost in Ireland?
Nursing home fees in Ireland vary by county, level of care, room type and facilities.
How the Fair Deal Scheme affects what you pay
Most residents do not pay these fees in full. Under the Fair Deal Scheme (the Nursing Home Support Scheme), you contribute a portion of your income and assets, and the HSE pays the balance. Of the homes listed on our directory, 0 accept Fair Deal funding. You can read more in our Fair Deal toolkit.
Methodology
These figures are calculated from the weekly fees published by nursing homes listed on nursinghome.care and are updated automatically as listings change. Averages only include homes that publish a price, so counties with few priced listings may show wider variation. This page was last updated on 28 September 2026. Always confirm current fees directly with each facility, and check the latest HIQA inspection report before making a decision.
