Our Work

Our Work Through the HOMES Strategy

At Nursing Homes Ireland (NHI), we are dedicated to supporting private and voluntary nursing homes across Ireland. Through our HOMES Strategic Plan, we work to strengthen the sector, advocate for essential resources, and enhance care for residents, their families, and staff.

 

Highlighting the voice of residents and members to enable better, care- led experiences for all.

We amplify the voice of residents and members, placing people at the heart of everything we do.

As the national representative organisation and leading voice, we pledge to uphold our position as active advocates, embracing the direct voice of residents, championing a care-first philosophy, and responding to the evolving needs and challenges of our members.

 

 

Organising internal processes, support structures and governance mechanisms to develop improved ways of working.

We enhance and refine internal systems to develop improved ways of working, resource sharing, governance, and financial planning, continuously identifying opportunities to enhance our day-to- day operations.

By aligning policies and processes with the needs of members and residents, we embed the principles of care into our organisational DNA.

 

 

 

 

Motivating the government, policymakers and society at large through advocacy, knowledge-sharing, and strategic collaboration to drive vital change.

As a trusted, omnipresent resource for nursing homes, we are uniquely positioned to lead the national conversation and build a more robust and responsive sector.

Through proactive advocacy, knowledge-sharing, relationship-building and strategic collaborations with key policy stakeholders, we aim to influence, inform, and lobby for imperative and meaningful action.

 

 

 

Engaging members at all levels to ensure everyone feels truly valued, supported, and represented.

We actively involve members at all levels, working collaboratively to move Ireland forward as an exemplar in older person care. By enhancing engagement structures and empowering members’ voices, we ensure their experiences mould the development of future services.

As our members provide 24/7 specialist care to residents, we will continue to support their needs while finding new ways to build our community and broaden the reach of our services.

 

 

 

Shaping the provision of care for our ageing population to make Ireland one of the best places to age.

As the unifying voice of Irish nursing homes, we commit to advancing the sector to enable an integrated, sustainable, and appropriately resourced model of care.

Through impactful advocacy, thought leadership, strategic lobbying, and robust support services, we are working with members to create a system that is responsive and respectful of the needs of our ageing population, ultimately shaping Ireland into one of the best places to age.
