When designing a care home, it is of course important to consider the local area when planning the interior as well as the exterior of the building. Make sure, where possible, you include plenty of outdoor space for residents and ensure all areas are accessible to those who may have mobility problems or mental health needs. Always create amenities that improve resident comfort, wellbeing and choice and consider internal decoration, signage and navigational aids from the design stage.
