The views of the residents will determine the future of Erkina House in Laois, according to a government minister.
Doubts have surrounded the Rathdowney mental health service since April, when the HSE proposed moving it to a more modern facility in Tullamore.
It claims the current premises is outdated and no longer fit for purpose.
Junior Finance Minister and local Fianna Fáil TD, Seán Fleming says an independent professional company in the area of community development has been appointed to conduct an options appraisal.
He says the process will take a number of months, but the welfare of the residents will remain front and centre:
