Why Refurbishment Matters
Refurbishments in aged care aren’t just about appearances, they have a direct, measurable impact on resident wellbeing. According to a 2022 study published in the Journal of Aging and Environment, simple environmental upgrades in aged care settings such as improved lighting, new flooring, upgraded furnishings, and fresh paint can lead to a 26% improvement in reported resident mood and comfort, along with a 15% decrease in behavioural incidents related to discomfort or agitation.
Window furnishings, in particular, play a critical role in overall comfort and wellbeing as they improve sleep hygiene by:
- Managing light
- Increasing privacy
- Reducing noise
- Bringing a homely feel that softens the institutional environment
When paired with fresh carpet, modern bedding, and a coat of calming paint, the result is a space that promotes safety, dignity, and a sense of stability for residents.
In an aged care setting, these upgrades go beyond style, they support emotional wellbeing, reduce anxiety, and encourage social interaction. Refurbishment shows care, and care builds trust.
Nows the time to act, to make the most of your FY Budget…
As we approach the end of financial year, now is the time for providers to act. Many aged care operators still have unspent facility improvement budgets and small investments before June 30 can deliver major returns. Whether it’s upgrading window furnishings across a wing or refreshing common areas, these updates don’t just improve daily life for residents they enhance the presentation of your facility for prospective families and future residents.
A fresh, well-maintained facility can be a key differentiator in a competitive market. When families are making decisions, these visual cues matter.
