Richard House

Tanglewood’s Richard House is a purpose-built home offering person-centred care, delivered by caring staff, in an environment that has been expertly designed to accommodate the needs of all the residents.

THE AIM

Tanglewood wanted to create a home where care, accommodation and kindness go hand in hand when striving to provide a meaningful quality of life.

As all residents deserve beautiful accommodation Tanglewood engaged Kerry Southern-Reason, Managing Director of the Care Home Interiors Company, to coordinate the interior design schemes across the whole of the home. Kerry aimed to design unique and coordinated schemes that would be sympathetic to all the residents who may require assistance with moving around and navigating the home.

THE SOLUTION

Kerry set out to specify finishing products that create luxury schemes but still maintain a home-from-home feeling and assist the home with achieving a clean and healthy environment for all those who live and work at Richard House.

Included within her schemes were a variety of products from the Equinox Collection. Manufactured to perform in such environments the Equinox Collection offers superior performance and fantastic product features including an antimicrobial yarn treatment and soil and stain repellent yarns.

The Collection has also been awarded the Eurofins Gold Certificate for Indoor Air Quality which assures that the products have low emissions and contribute to a healthy indoor environment.

Equinox includes Bi-Ome®, an innovative antimicrobial treatment designed to kill harmful bacteria, including those that can cause MRSA and E-coli. It has also proven its effectiveness against SARS-COV-2.

THE OUTCOME

The home encompasses a home-from-home feeling as soon as you walk through the door. Offering an environment where care and compassion are at the heart of everything Richard House do. The interior schemes and décor play a big part in offering a therapeutic scheme and the Equinox Collection offers the following innovative product features:

  • Antimicrobial yarn treatment – Equinox includes Bi-Ome®, an innovative antimicrobial treatment designed to kill harmful bacteria, including those that can cause MRSA and E-coli. It has also proven its effectiveness against SARS-COV-2.
  • Durability – The Collection comes in a variety of pile weights providing you with options for all locations from high traffic areas to bedrooms.
  • Appearance retention – Manufactured using solution-dyed polypropylene yarns, the Collection offers a locked-in colourfast system that ensures superior colour and light-fastness even when subject to harsh cleaning chemicals.
  • Stain Resistant Yarn – The solution-dyed fibre repels acid stains, minimising their chemical adhesion, keeping your investment looking good for longer.
  • Spill safe – All of the selected carpets have an integral protective membrane, preventing liquid spills from penetrating the subfloor, reducing contamination, fungal growth and unpleasant odours.
  • Naturally sound absorbent – danfloor carpets have outstanding sound absorption qualities, achieving more than 28dB reduction in sound impact levels, which creates a therapeutic environment where people can relax and communicate effectively.
  • DSDC Accreditation – The majority of the Equinox Collection has been approved by Stirling University’s Dementia Services Development Centre for use within dementia-inclusive environments.
