The Lexicon for Social Care is an initiative by HIQA’s Chief Inspector of Social Service. The Lexicon provides a list of commonly-used words relevant to social care, along with a definition.

The Chief Inspector of Social Services, as part of the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA), is responsible for the registration of designated centres, including nursing homes.

We register designated centres for older people. We also monitor and inspect these centres regularly to ensure they maintain a high level of care and support.

We monitor and inspect residential services in order to protect vulnerable people of all ages who are receiving residential care services and to ensure that these people are receiving an appropriate standard and quality of service.
