Aged care facilities require thoughtful painting solutions that create warm, inviting spaces while addressing the unique needs of elderly residents. At Carus, we understand the specific challenges of retirement villages and care homes and provide tailored painting services that enhance resident well-being while minimising disruption.
Aged Care Facility Painting Specialists
1. Resident Comfort & Minimal Disruption
Aged care is someone's home, not just a facility. Our teams understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines:
- We implement careful scheduling that respects resident meal times and activities
- Our painters work in small, manageable sections to reduce impact on daily living
- We use low-odour formulations to prevent discomfort for sensitive residents
- Our team maintains a calm, respectful presence in all resident areas
2. Creating Dementia-Friendly Environments
For memory care units and dementia facilities, we understand the crucial role of environmental design:
- Strategic colour contrasts improve spatial recognition and wayfinding
- Glare-free finishes reduce visual confusion and disorientation
- Colour-coding helps distinguish different areas and supports independence
- Thoughtful design elements create familiar, calming environments that reduce anxiety
3. Fall Prevention & Safety Considerations
Elderly residents have specific safety requirements that influence our approach:
- Non-slip floor coating applications for wet areas
- Colour contrasts at level changes to improve visibility
- Clear delineation between walls and floors to aid depth perception
- Appropriate sheen levels to reduce glare that can cause disorientation
4. Durability For Residential Care Settings
Aged care facilities face unique challenges from mobility equipment and intensive cleaning:
- Impact-resistant coatings in corridors and doorways frequently contacted by mobility aids
- Easily cleanable surfaces that withstand regular sanitsation
- Stain-resistant formulation for dining and activity areas
- Durable finishes that maintain appearance despite frequent cleaning
