Five proven strategies to enhance your design journey.
Making an aged care facility feel warm and homely goes beyond furnishing the space or ensuring enough seating for visitors.
In addition to these details, construction design should be considered when creating a comforting atmosphere in an aged care facility.
Large hallways, bright white walls, and clinical furniture can give off a cold and clinical vibe, which may not provide the inviting environment many family members look for when visiting their elderly loved ones. Replacing some traditional construction elements with home-like décors, such as soft colours, carpets, and artwork, will provide an inviting ambience for the elderly residents and visitors.
Natural light and outdoor features such as a courtyard or garden can help bring the outside in, providing comfort and relaxation to the aged care facility's inhabitants. Natural construction materials such as wood furniture, textiles, and flooring can warm an otherwise sterile environment.
Partition walls that can easily be rearranged create a sense of flexibility in construction design. This allows greater variety and change within the space, allowing it to be adapted to different uses while still feeling comfortable and homely.
High-quality construction material that can reduce noise reverberation is essential in aged care construction design. This will create a peaceful atmosphere that encourages relaxation, allowing conversations and activities without overwhelming sound levels.
Smart construction design solutions allow for greater control over the environment in an aged care facility and provide convenience and safety to elderly residents. Automation of lighting and heating systems, security cameras, and other technologies can make living in an aged care facility more enjoyable without sacrificing comfort or safety.
