What You Need To Know When Buying Furniture For A Care Home Or Nursing Home

Are you looking for new furniture for your nursing home or care home? Selecting the right furniture for these contexts involves more factors than many people realise. So, if you want to buy the perfect furniture for your care home, then read this comprehensive guide from the Rosehill team first…

What Type Of Furniture Can You Use In A Care Home Or Nursing Home?

First off, let’s begin by answering a common question. What type of furniture can you use in a nursing home or care home?

The answer is contract furniture. 

Contract furniture is furniture which is designed and manufactured for use in high-traffic, well-used public environments. 

As such, contract furniture uses designs and materials that are far more robust than the types of designs and materials that you’ll find used on domestic furniture for the average private home.

Contract furniture also has to meet a series of fire, safety and dimensional standards that are far above the standards that domestic furniture must meet. 

So, if you’re going to be buying furniture for a care home or nursing home, you must first establish that you are buying contract-quality furniture.

Here at Rosehill, we sell only contract furniture.

Traditional Versus Modern Nursing Home And Care Home Furniture

When many people think of nursing homes and care homes, they think of rather plain institutions that resemble healthcare establishments, or are an extension of a hospital. 

That may have been true in the past, but today’s best nursing homes and care homes have gone to great efforts to create a decor and atmosphere that resembles a private residence, and a comfortable living space. 

In addition, many modern care homes and nursing homes have moved away from older-style canteens and cafeterias, to create sumptuous modern, restaurant-style dining areas instead.
