Interior Design for Extra Care, Assisted Living and Sheltered Housing
Creating communal spaces in extra care developments which promote and encourage a sense of community are key. The feedback that we have received from residents in past projects confirms that we get the balance right. Creating spaces that are light and airy, yet still homely. Moving from your home of many years into assisted living / sheltered housing can be incredibly stressful. A well designed and inviting extra care environment can not only make the move less traumatic but support residents in building new communities. Colour psychology can be used to great effect in supporting the health and well-being of residents.
We feel that every care home should have its own identity, so we take the time to produce schemes that are unique and sit comfortably with the location and style of the building, rather than creating generic colour schemes for each of our projects. We take time over our art specifications, creating talking points and interesting collections which relate to the local area and encourage residents to connect as they spark memories. All our extra care providers can be assured that their schemes will be designed with sensory and cognitive decline in mind. Well designed environments which keep people as independent for as long as possible, benefit everyone.
