Furnishing- creating healthcare facilities which are ‘homes’ not ‘hospitals’
Archability offers design-award winning European furnishing for aged care and supported housing. Adjustable beds are complemented by matching side tables and cabinetry, all with integrated gripping surfaces to facilitate safe mobility.
SUPPORT FROM ARCHABILITY
Technical support is available as in-house or on-site consultation. Projects can be presented in 2D or 3D files or video animation. This gives clients a clear understanding of the appearance and functionality of their chosen design.
A number of options need to be considered when specifying overhead patient lifting systems – the most important being the points of transfer the client is seeking to achieve.
For new projects, clients may wish to consider the more aesthetic option of recessed tracking.
