The Sacred Heart Hospital is a state-run nursing home in Ireland, located just outside Roscommon town.
The structure was built in the 1840s as a workhouse for the poor of the region.[1] It was later converted for use as a tuberculosis hospital and as a mental home, and eventually used for rehabilitative services and care of the elderly. In 2011, it catered to one hundred patients,[2] though this figure is reportedly due to be reduced by 10% in 2012.[3]
