What makes contract furniture ideal for care homes? Hygiene, durability, and special attention to residents’ needs.

Here at Barons, we’ve been supplying care home furniture for 50 years now, setting benchmarks within the contract furniture industry and leading the way in terms of quality. So, you can bet that we know everything there is to know about making sure residents are as comfortable and safe as possible within their interiors.

Our wealth of experience working within the care home sector makes us well-placed to be your number-one choice for fabulous furniture and soft furnishings.

Hygiene – Smart Fabrics

I think we’ve all learned how fast bacteria spreads, and how vulnerable older people are when it comes to catching diseases. We are extremely proud to be constantly keeping residents safe by offering a range of anti-microbial fabrics as well as Hygienilac spray lacquer provision on our upholstered furniture frames and cabinet edgings. Customers can choose from a wide scope of fabulous fabrics with anti-microbial and anti-viral properties from our selected specialist fabric suppliers, proven technologies from reputable manufacturers that support the provision of a health-conscious, sustainable environment. Barons’ anti-microbial and anti-viral fabrics significantly minimise the potential for re-transmission of pathogens by effectively immobilising and destroying the virus on the surface.

We also offer water-resistant fabrics and easy clean and care fabrics, giving you even more peace of mind that your residents will be able to enjoy hygienic furniture whilst also providing an easier time for your staff.

Durability – Care Home Contract Furniture Built to Last

All our furniture is specifically designed for the care environment, meeting all current fire regulations and built with FSC®-certified timber.

When you order from Barons, you’re investing in furniture that’s built to last. We make sure to use the highest quality materials and every single piece of furniture we produce is solidly built and rigorously quality tested before it leaves the factory.

Attention to Residents’ Needs – Furniture for Challenging Environments

When furnishing a care home, there are many things to consider; sometimes, residents’ health issues make their safety and comfort concerns. Barons has spent many years perfecting our range of furniture for challenging environments, designed to create therapeutic spaces for residents at risk of injuring themselves or their carers. Since its launch, our challenging environment furniture has been praised by carers across the UK and we continue to develop our offering.

Our furniture for challenging environments offers many outstanding safety features, including:

  • Glued, dowelled and screwed construction
  • Anti-ligature handles and clothing shelves
  • Soft rounded corners
  • Lockable drawers

Our specialist furniture is designed to improve the well-being of those who need to be looked after, including ranges that are perfect for dementia care. We’re delighted to help carers by crafting high-quality furniture that is easy to look after and will make their lives easier. From living rooms and bedrooms to dining areas, we have everything to help you create calming interiors that your residents, visitors and staff can enjoy.

We can help you carefully select furnishings designed to address the needs of your residents. Our dementia-friendly furniture and soft furnishing ranges have been developed to create safe and stylish interiors, whilst incorporating many features designed to help residents feel secure and content, reducing feelings of confusion and the level of assistance required from staff, which in turn leads to an increase in dignity and independence.

Your Perfect Partner in Care Home Furniture

With all that being said, we believe Barons should be your first choice when it comes to deciding on a care home furniture supplier. However, we’d understand if you’d need a bit more convincing – based in the seaside town of Lytham, you can visit our showroom to see our contract furniture and range of fabrics up close, as well as speak to a Barons team member about how we’ll cater to your requirements. If you’re unable to travel to our showroom, we can also bring some Barons to you – our unique display van service means that our customers can select the pieces of furniture they’d like to view up close and one of our area sales managers will travel right to your doorstep. We can also arrange coffee mornings with your residents, so they’ll be able to have a say in their new interiors. Have a question? Contact the Barons team today and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
