Furncare’s Dementia Collection has been awarded an A1 rating by a panel of judges for its dementia-friendly interiors. We look at the range
Lynsey Hutchinson, interior designer and accreditations assessor at The University of Stirling Dementia Service Development Centre (DSDC), has awarded the highest possible rating for Furncare’s dementia-friendly interiors. The Admonere Range was awarded an A1 rating by a panel of judges for its dementia-friendly design and features in the Remini - The Furncare Dementia Collection. This collection includes a series of fully coordinated bedroom themes designed specifically for residents living with dementia. The range includes coordinated highback lounge and visitor chairs, upholstered in contrasting high-performance fabrics, and a choice of electronic profiling beds, matching curtains, soft furnishings and accessories. The Admonere range consists of drawer units, bedside cabinets, a dressing table and wardrobes, all of which feature distinctive cut-outs so residents can see what is inside, reducing anxiety levels and the frustration associated with common symptoms of dementia.
This furniture is also suited to mental health, autism and challenging environments, and includes anti-ligature shelves, 270-degree piano hinges and non-removable drawers. The Remini Dementia Collection achieved Gold Standard rating from the DSDC and is available exclusively from Furncare. Furncare use their own ‘White Glove’ team to deliver orders, even taking the furniture to the precise room of your choice, fully assembled and ready to use. ‘For Remini to have achieved the highest level of recognition possible is a landmark achievement,’ said Furncare’s managing director Carl Southall. ‘Coming from one of the foremost centres of excellence for dementia research and development, this is a proud moment for Furncare, and will help to improve the lives of many people living with dementia.’
