The project is located in the Kenmare area of Kerry and will replace the existing 24-bed Kenmare Community Hospital.
Designed by Dublin based architects, Coady Partnership Architects, the project will include a new single and part two-storey, 40 bed residential healthcare unit with associated mental health day care centre and ancillary facilities.
The new hospital will comprise a 14 bed household with an integrated 6 bed dementia unit, a 20 bed central therapy module and related community spaces including dental services, and a discrete ambulance base. As well as this another building containing offices, overnight accommodation and changing facilities will also be erected.
