Description

The design of aged care facilities plays a pivotal role in enhancing the well-being of residents, with a focus on creating environments that prioritise calmness and support. By integrating effective acoustic solutions, ensuring high indoor air quality, and implementing comprehensive moisture control strategies, these facilities can significantly improve the quality of life for their inhabitants. Furthermore, a commitment to person-centred care not only fosters respect but also reinforces the importance of mould resistance and clean air. Ultimately, addressing environmental health risks such as poor ventilation and mould exposure is essential for promoting safety and comfort within these spaces, ensuring that they serve as nurturing homes for all residents.
