The research team involving TrinityHaus Research Centre/Trinity College Dublin, Age Friendly Ireland, Age Action, HSE, and the Centre for Excellence in Universal Design/NDA would like you to complete a questionnaire on your views and experience regarding the planning and design of nursing homes in Ireland. 

This is part of a wider research project aimed at providing research findings and recommendations related to the buildings and outdoor spaces (built environment) associated with long-term residential care settings for older people (nursing homes) in Ireland. 

The main outcome of the research will be the development of a set of planning and design guidelines for new settings and the adaption and retrofit of existing settings, all underpinned by Universal Design principles.

Members of the public with experience of long-term residential care settings in Ireland, either as a resident or family member, as well as those working in this area are invited to participate in the research by completing the online survey below. The questionnaire will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete, and all data collected will be anonymous.
