specifically for this sector. From durable furniture that withstands the demands of daily use to soft furnishings that are easy to clean and maintain, we build our range to outperform. By choosing products that are functional and tailored for each specific area of the home, care homes can reduce maintenance costs while maintaining a clean, home-from-home look and feel. Our furniture included a 10-Year
Warranty as standard, ensuring longevity and reducing waste. This not only lowers lifetime costs but also supports sustainability goals – a priority for many care home groups. Additionally, unwanted or damaged furniture can be collected and recycled by us, ensuring an environmentally friendly approach to managing your care home’s furnishings.
Streamlining your procurement process Another area where care homes can achieve significant savings is through efficient procurement processes. Edison & Day’s bespoke OrderEx system is an industry- leading online portal, which we developed for our clients to seamlessly order furniture and soft furnishings. It is user-friendly, offering clients a convenient view of schemes with set prices, significantly reducing order time. OrderEx also has budget management facilities, enabling users to view and control their spend on care homes.
The benefits of OrderEx
OrderEx is more than just a procurement tool – it is a comprehensive solution to many of the challenges care home managers face. With OrderEx, you can: n Save valuable time by streamlining the ordering process.
n Gain full control and visibility over your spending, enabling better financial management.
n Ensure faster delivery times, reducing the downtime of empty rooms.
n Access tailored recommendations based on your care home’s specific needs.
In fact, one of our customers reduced the time it takes to place an order – from deciding on the required products through to order approval and confirmation – by 70 per cent using OrderEx. This huge time saving can be redirected into what matters most: caring for residents.

is not necessary. Small, strategic updates can make a big difference. For example, new curtains or soft furnishings can transform a space, making it feel clean and welcoming. At Edison & Day, we offer a survey service to assess your care home’s needs. Our team can identify areas where a simple refresh – like replacing furniture components or adding new decorative touches – can have the most significant impact.
Delivered when you need it Six years ago, Edison & Day transformed the care home market with the introduction of our 5-Day Delivery Service. We continue to lead the way with our ‘Your Day’ Delivery Service – items will be delivered on the day you need. Whether you need a full room set or individual items, we work closely with you to deliver your order exactly when you need it. Our efficient turnaround times ensure that rooms are ready for occupancy, reducing income loss from empty spaces. These faster delivery times further support room turnaround, helping you maximise occupancy quickly and efficiently. To see the financial impact of our fast turnaround, take the cost of one of your rooms and multiply it by the number of
days it is left empty. If we can reduce that number of days, we are saving you money. It is as simple as that.
The emotional value of beautiful spaces Beautiful, clean, and well-designed spaces create a sense of dignity, pride, and happiness in residents. Equally important, these spaces foster positivity among staff, improving morale and retention. By investing in thoughtful design, care homes can create environments that enrich the lives of everyone who lives and works there. At Edison & Day, we are committed to helping care homes navigate these challenging times. Through innovative design, efficient procurement, and a focus on sustainability, we provide solutions that deliver lasting value. Together, we can create spaces where residents thrive, staff excel, and care homes flourish.
