Aged care - Communal area

Social environments

Vital part of any aged care facility

Communal areas are the central points of reference for most residents. Most of the activities take place here: meals, activities and social gatherings take place in these areas. For this reason communal areas not only have to provide comforting and stimulating social areas for residents, they also need to be able to withstand the wear and tear of daily life in a busy home. Residents should be able to enjoy their social areas without worrying about the floor. Important factors are:

• Good slip resistance to avoid slips and trips
• Durability to cope with the hundreds of residents, staff and visitors
• Excellent acoustic properties to reduce and contain the noise where possible
• Flooring that cleans up as good as new and is hygienic
