Older people living in residential and nursing care facilities spend a large proportion of their time within the boundaries of the home, and are highly dependent upon the quality of the care environment to support their physical or cognitive frailties. The quality of care is then directly related to the physical spaces within which they live. Our knowledgeable team are highly experienced in the design of environments tailored to the needs of those living with a variety of medical conditions. We also understand the importance of creating spaces for social interaction between residents, staff and visitors.
