Aged care is an important priority right now. Like most developed countries, Australia has an aging population and a growing need for support and care for this increasing section of society. With the safety, dignity, and the independence of people in aged care all a consideration, it is vital to get the creation of care facilities right so that they can be used for many years to come and help provide comfortable living and working environments for residents and carers alike.
When it comes to outfitting these facilities, one of the first questions should always be about maintaining a safe and healthy environment in aged care, and Altro provides solutions that assist in keeping conditions ideal. Having worked on developing walls and flooring for care homes over many years, Altro understands that there are often physical challenges and other additional needs that need to be appraised. Whilst this all must be factored in; ultimately, you are creating a home for residents where they need to feel secure.
Taking this responsibility seriously is paramount to the bond built with customers to provide them with the best possible environments for their needs and, as such, Altro has collaborated with associations including Care England, Design in Mental Health, and the University of Stirling’s renowned Dementia Services Development Centre to develop the best possible solutions for aged care design.
So, what makes a suitable aged care home? Well, firstly, it’s the understanding that a one-size-fits-all approach is not going to work in a sector where the design guidelines for aged care facilities change depending on what services they are providing. For example, nursing homes, residential homes, and retirement villages all offer different living experiences and, as such, need to be catered for specifically.
