Stereotyping Care Home Chairs

When we think about care homes, the stereotypical view is that the furniture is clinical and dull. With beige and standard blue and rose being the colours of attraction, and wipe clean seats feeling uncomfortable under delicate bottoms. But who’s to say that has to be the case? Here at Hill & Hill, we want your care home to consider this stereotype a thing of the past, and look at what your residents will truly enjoy.

Think Colour

We see those stereotypical colours associated with care homes, and shudder at the thought. Why should the place your residents call home be so plain and dull? Adding colour and patterns can bring the place to life. While it can’t make your residents young again, it sure can make them think younger. Bright and bold colours can help to keep the brain active, so introducing some of our fantastic fabrics can really add that little extra that something your residents need.

Think Comfort

As your residents spend large amounts of their time sitting in chairs, one of the most important things to consider is the comfort of those chairs. While we appreciate that any chairs you have in the home will need to be appropriate to keep clean and hygienic, you do not need to compromise the comfort. Not all of your residents will find the same chairs comfortable, so why not take a look at our range and pick out a selection of different styles, making sure that you accommodate each and every resident’s needs without compromise.
Here at Hill & Hill, we have a range of styles of chairs that can be covered in a vast collection of fabrics that boast some great properties. You no longer have to worry about plastic and wipe down covers which take away that comfort. Our collection of Panaz ShieldPlus fabrics have a microbial coating which helps to keep them clean and safe.

Think Young

Age is just a number. We remind not only ourselves but also our residents of this almost daily. So why should your care home make your residents feel older?
While we appreciate that adjustments need to be made to compensate for our ageing bodies, we don’t need to have our care home screaming out reminding us, so why not think young when you change out the furniture in your home. For any adjustments to your furniture order, contact our team today who will be happy to see how we can incorporate this without making it a different product.
