New Service Planning

Q. I am considering building or operating a nursing home. Where can I look for advice?

For providers who are considering building or making an extension to their centre we would recommend that they speak with a member of the SSI who may be able to offer advice.

Contact the dedicated SSI advice line: 021 2409660.

Details on room requirements are contained in the National Quality Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People in Ireland, Standard 25: Physical Environment.
Standard 25 sections A and B refer to existing buildings and section C refers to new builds, new extensions and first time registrations.
Please note that the criteria are indicative and not prescriptive.
