Aged care - Communal area

Social areas

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. For this reason communal areas not only have to provide comforting and stimulating spaces for residents, they also need to be able to withstand the wear and tear of daily life in a busy home.

Important factors to consider:

• Good slip-resistance to avoid slips and trips
• Durability
• Excellent acoustic properties to reduce and contain the noise where possible
• Flooring that cleans up as good as new and is hygienic
