All Care Homes should provide a welcoming, comforting and relaxed environment for residents. There are so many factors to consider when sourcing products for a care home, patients physical needs such as mobility issues or dementia need to be addressed. When creating a place which feels like home, it’s important to provide comfort, familiarity and a peaceful environment at all times.
