Why Choose Matching Furniture For Your Care Home

There will always be an argument for and against choosing matching furniture for your care home. So why do many care homes opt for matching furniture throughout the home, even in the bedrooms?

Continuity

For many care homes, the main reason that they choose to have matching furniture throughout is simply for continuity. By investing in several of the same care home chairs, it means that they have a theme running throughout the home and through all of its rooms. By including a care home bedroom furniture package in each room, you can also ensure that bedrooms will have a running theme.
Alongside furniture, opting for matching curtains can also offer that continuity throughout the home. Our curtains are all made to measure allowing you to choose a fabric to run through your entire care home.

For Equality

Another reason many places will invest in the same furniture package for every room is to offer all residents a fair collection of furniture in their room. This way, you can ensure that each resident has the same set of drawers, wardrobes and other items in their room when they arrive. Then if they choose to bring their own items, that allows them to personalise the space further.
Adding to this equality, have you considered the chairs in your lounge? Many residents will have a go-to chair, but what happens when there is already another resident sitting in it? Ensuring that all, or at least the majority, of your care home chairs, are the same, or at least multiples of each, helps to ensure that your residents can still sit in their favourite style of chair.

Challenging Behaviour

If your facility has a number of residents that display signs of challenging behaviour, more often than not it is advised to limit the number of disruptions and changes to their routine and surroundings. This can include the furniture they use on a daily basis.
It may be the case that another resident has already taken a chair that those with challenging behaviours have a preference for, when this is the case, having multiple similar cars helps to offer them an alternative.
A dining room situation can also offer the same concerns should they have a preference for a particular table or chair.

Bedroom Furniture Packages

When keeping true to matching furniture throughout, taking a look at furniture packages can help you to keep those same items in each room. Here at Hill and Hill, we have a range of furniture packages to allow you to find the best all-around package to suit the needs of your residents.
The Moorland Complete Package includes all the main furniture you could require, from a wardrobe, drawers and even lockable bedside cabinet, but also the soft furnishings such as curtains (and pole), bed runner and coordinating scatter cushion for the included chair. However, the package does not include a bed due to these primarily being specific to the residents care needs.
