Deer Park

Deer Park Care Home offers 24-hour residential, nursing, dementia and respite care within elegant and spacious surroundings. The home is purpose-built, incorporating many thoughtful and practical features that ensure the comfort and safety of the residents at all times, supporting, not only their differing care requirements but their social, emotional and physical well-being too.

THE AIM

Porthaven aimed to apply considered design principles that ensure the comfort and safety of all residents and staff. They wished to create a home with spacious bedrooms all with ensuite facilities, a variety of communal living areas for socialising, hobbies and dining, sitting rooms, a number of different-sized restaurants, a gym, cinema, café, bespoke hairdressing salon, leisure and wellness room and a private dining room for special family celebrations.

Having worked with Kerry Southern Reason from the Care Home Interiors company on many other homes within the group, some of which are award-winning, Sean Kime, Commercial Director at Porthaven turned to Kerry and her team for their extensive design knowledge and creative flare.

THE SOLUTION

Kerry aimed to create interior schemes for the home that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also excelled in form and function, therefore the specification of fit-for-purpose fixtures, furniture and finishing products was essential.

Appreciating the practicality, colour and design options offered by danfloor’s range of carpets, Kerry specified several carpets from the Equinox, Economix and Evolution collections for the bedrooms, lounges, activity areas, corridors and the cinema room.

The available colour bank meant that Kerry could coordinate the rest of the textiles and finishing products with the carpets, ticking the box for aesthetics. From a practical point of view, Kerry knew that the performance features offered by the Equinox, Economix and Evolution collections would mean that the floors would help with infection control, be easily maintained and would provide many benefits for residents and staff in terms of acoustics, especially in the rooms with vaulted ceilings and indoor air quality.

We believe we have created the right combination for living well at Deer Park, complementing the beautiful surroundings, the compassionate and skilled care, great food, and the ability to continue to make lifestyle choices prevailing throughout.

THE OUTCOME

Kerry states “We believe we have created the right combination for living well at Deer Park, complementing the beautiful surroundings, the compassionate and skilled care, great food, and the ability to continue to make lifestyle choices prevailing throughout.” The carpets not only help to achieve this but also offer the following outstanding performance features:

Antimicrobial yarn treatment – All the ranges have been developed to include Bi-Ome®, an innovative antimicrobial treatment that is designed to kill harmful bacteria including those that can cause MRSA and E-coli. It has also proven its effectiveness against SARS-COV-2.

DSDC Accredited Collection – All the colours within the TONES, EQUINOX and ECONOMIX ranges received approval from Stirling University’s DSDC team; gaining either a 1a, flooring which can be used indiscriminately and 1b, flooring that can generally be used throughout a property designed for those living with dementia.

Extreme durability – The Economix and Evolution Collection are certified to British Standard classification 33 “Heavy Commercial Use” enabling them to withstand high volumes of foot and wheeled traffic and intense commercial cleaning. This makes the ranges ideal for corridors and communal areas.

Appearance retention – Manufactured using solution-dyed Nylon and Polypropylene yarns, the collections offer a locked-in colourfast system that ensures superior colour and light-fastness even when subject to harsh cleaning chemicals.

Spill safe – All of the selected carpets have an integral protective membrane, preventing liquid spills from penetrating through to the subfloor, reducing contamination, fungal growth and unpleasant odours.

Naturally sound-absorbent – danfloor carpets have great sound absorption qualities, achieving more than 28dB reduction in sound impact levels, which helps to create a “therapeutic environment” in which people can relax and communicate effectively.
