Specification for the dementia and elderly care sector
Designing care environments presents a unique set of challenges. The space needs to feel homely while also catering to residents' differing health needs, including people living with dementia. Considerate colour scheming can help reduce residents’ anxiety and aid wayfinding, creating safer spaces where people can live with dignity. Interior walls must be easy to clean in accordance with strict hygiene standards. Our specification team can support you with every aspect of your social care project.
