Nursing home residents and their families to share their experiences of care in new national survey

The National Nursing Home Experience Survey — the first ever national survey of nursing home care in Ireland — gets underway today.

Residents in participating nursing homes — HSE, private and voluntary — will have the opportunity to share their views on the quality of care and support they receive. This includes how this meets their needs. One nominated family member or friend of each resident will also be invited to take part in the survey. They will also get to comment on the care provided to their loved one.
