Flexible Spaces for Long-Term Care Facilities
Posted by Julie Wenckowski on Feb 14th 2019
A lively game of cards and a family catching up over lunch both belong in a long-term care community. They just don’t always belong in the same open space.
Portable room dividers help staff make room for both. By turning shared areas into smaller, purposeful spaces, they give residents more options for how they spend their day and whom they share it with.
Give Activities a Dedicated Space
Craft projects need room to spread out. A presentation needs a place to gather. Room dividers help give each activity a home while screening nearby movement and maintaining sightlines for staff. Fabric and woven fabric panels also offer a place to celebrate what residents create. Pin up artwork, photos, and community projects, then roll the display to another gathering area when it’s time to share.
Make Family Visits More Personal
A shared meal or familiar conversation can make a visit special. Position a divider beside a dining table or seating area to give families a little space of their own, away from the activity around them.
Plan Around Daily Care
A thoughtful layout makes room for people and their routines. Leave comfortable space for wheelchairs, walkers, and staff to move between areas, and keep exits and travel routes clear as partitions are repositioned or stored.
