Private Dining Olney Meadows

Olney Meadows

Kingsley Healthcare’s Olney Meadows, nestled in the historic town of Olney, embodies elegance and luxury, offering a home designed with residents’ well-being at its heart.

THE AIM

Kingsley Healthcare’s primary goal was to create a luxurious yet homely environment where residents could thrive both independently and within a vibrant community setting.

To achieve this vision whilst being able to deliver exceptional care—including residential, nursing, dementia, respite, end-of-life, and convalescence services—Kingsley enlisted Jacqui Smith of Homesmith’s to carefully specify suitable products and ensure a beautifully designed home.

THE SOLUTION

The interior design and facilities available to residents and visitors rival those of a top-class hotel, offering a choice of premium, superior, and deluxe bedrooms, all enhanced by thoughtful personal touches that create a true home-from-home atmosphere. Residents can enjoy the tranquil retreat of the library, immerse themselves in the state-of-the-art cinema room, or host special gatherings in the elegant private dining room, perfect for memorable family occasions.

To complement this exceptional environment, Jacqui specified several carpet ranges, from the danfloor collection, throughout. Evolution Chevron was chosen for the private dining area, Scape for communal lounges and themed corridors, and Equinox Tones for all bedrooms, adding a sense of both luxury and comfort.

We always specify Danfloor carpets; we love their designs and know that we can rely on their performance in a care setting.

THE OUTCOME

Together, Kingsley and Homesmith’s have crafted a home that seamlessly blends homely comfort with refined opulence, while ensuring functionality and practicality for both residents and staff.

The Evolution and Equinox collections offer the home; including residents, staff and guests, the following benefits:

  • Extreme durability – The Evolution Collection boasts certification to British Standard classification 33, signifying its resilience for “Heavy Commercial Use.” This accreditation ensures its capability to endure substantial foot and wheeled traffic, and rigorous commercial cleaning procedures.
  • Antimicrobial yarn treatment – Both the Equinox and the Evolution Collections feature Bi-Ome®, an advanced permanent antimicrobial treatment specifically crafted to eliminate harmful bacteria, including those responsible for infections such as MRSA and C. Diff.
  • Spill safe – All of the selected carpets have an integral protective impervious membrane, preventing liquid spills from penetrating through to the subfloor, reducing contamination, fungal growth, and unpleasant odours.
  • Naturally sound absorbent – Danfloor carpets exhibit excellent sound absorption characteristics, surpassing a 28dB reduction in sound impact levels. This contributes to the establishment of a “therapeutic environment,” fostering relaxation and effective communication for individuals within the space.
  • Appearance retention – Crafted from solution-dyed Nylon and Polypropylene yarns, the Evolution and Equinox Collections present a colourfast system that locks in vibrant hues. This ensures exceptional colour and light-fastness, maintaining their brilliance even when exposed to rigorous cleaning chemicals.
  • Reduction in fall injuries – In contrast to hard surface floors, carpeting has been shown to decrease injuries resulting from trips and falls. Research indicates that older individuals exhibit greater gait speed and step length when walking on carpeted surfaces compared to vinyl.
