Hi Cliff
Yes there is a 2003 document on National minimum standards for care homes
for older people by DoH.

A National Health Estates book, Health facilities Note 19, HFN19, "Design of
residential and Care Homes for Older People" available from the Centre for
Accessible Environments.
Here in Wales, we also have National minimum "Standards for Care homes for
Older People" and another for Young People published by the Welsh Assembly.
I have seen a consultation copy of an English version about 2001.

Subject: Design of Care Homes
Importance: High
Hi All,
Was wondering whether anyone on the list had come across design guidance for
care homes? I have been contacted by a colleague asking if anything like
this exists which might help persuade the Architects to build a proposed new
Care Home to accessible standards.
Any help will be gratefully received.
John.
