Long-Term Residential Care for Older People: Planning and Design for Quality of Life and Resilience
Aim of Research Project: To provide research findings and recommendations related to the buildings and outdoor spaces (built environment) associated with residential long-term care settings for older people (nursing homes) in Ireland. This research will be used to inform a new set of planning and design guidelines for new settings and the adaptation and retrofit of existing settings. The research and guidelines are underpinned by a Universal Design approach to ensure that the built environment in these settings can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size, ability, or disability.

Although it is the preference of most older people to remain living at home as they age, it is likely that some of us may need to move into long-term residential care at some point in our lives. As such, it is essential that the buildings and spaces in residential care settings be of good design and quality.
