with opportunities to remain active, socialise and learn new skills. Clean lines, and fresh and modern finishes are stylish as well as practical for active lifestyles.” At Innova we know that beautiful, cutting-edge designed spaces will be enjoyed not only by residents, but by the staff caring for them, too. These are, after all, places of work as well as places of residence, and if operators and providers are serious about attracting and – crucially – retaining staff, they must give serious consideration to investing in beautiful interiors that have that all-important ‘wow’ factor. Staff deserve to work in a space that looks different to the similar looking, dated, and clinical spaces found in many care environments.


Innova – the full solution Having worked within the care industry for decades, our family-owned business realised early on the importance of listening to our customers. This applies not only to the business of design, but equally to the business of logistics. It has often been said that when opening the doors to any new establishment, the last couple of weeks can be the most challenging, with multiple daily deliveries on site, last-minute delays, and schedule overruns often being compounded by different personnel all wanting to do their job as effectively as possible, and all within that tight opening window. The risk of precious equipment and furnishings being damaged or going missing is high. This is where Innova Care Concepts, in conjunction with our sister company - warehousing and logistics specialist Dependall - comes in. We offer an elite service of managing all the logistics and deliveries to site – for the entire project, if needs be. As experienced logistics operators, Innova can take on the role of project manager, overseeing all critical paths and ensuring that issues are clearly communicated and addressed before they impact the opening. With over 700,000 sq. ft of storage across two primely-located sites with easy access to the motorway network, we are ideally placed to take the strain out of the build-up to opening day.

design, and many years of experience. It unites ergonomic functionality with technical elegance. Infinitum Furniture is where the principle of ‘endless possibilities’ never ends. Bob Oliver, commercial director at Innova Care Concepts, says: “We at Innova are always looking for the latest innovations in healthcare. Currently, in the care and retirement living settings the choice for furniture that is truly design led yet can deliver practical requirements is very limited. With the growing demand of an aging yet more design conscious population, there is a burning need for furniture that could deliver on both counts. We also know the huge challenges placed on those last weeks before the big opening day of an establishment and knowing that we can support this by mitigating the risk.” Working alongside designers, architects and end clients, our passionate and dedicated team are here to bring your design ideas to life. One of our secrets to a great project, big or small, is the attention to detail and the fact that we take every step with you. Let us take you on a design journey and see what Infinitum Furniture can do for you, your residents, and your staff.
