Unlike successful projects in England and Australia, Ireland has very few retirement villages like McAuley Place in Naas or Great Northern Haven in Dundalk.
The CEO of Home and Community Care Ireland (HCCI), Joseph Musgrave, has stated that Ireland is lagging behind when it comes to providing housing options for older adults.
He said efforts to create retirement villages with suitable homes and apartments for seniors are being hindered by gaps in policy and legislation.
