Designing Functional
Complex Care Environments

The Percy Hedley Foundation engaged Innova to develop an innovative and fit for purpose hoist solution for the extension of our existing facility, Percy Hedley Achievement Campus at Killingworth; creating a 26 Bed Children’s Home with ancillary facilities and an adjacent Hydrotherapy Pool. The team at Innova worked with us from concept design to the successful completion of the project. During the process the team demonstrated a high of level of professionalism, creativity and forward thinking while remaining sensitive to our needs as the client. The project was pressured with funding constraints and timeline deadlines, the team went a long way to ease these pressures by being extremely responsive to our ever changing needs while keeping the project to programme. An outstanding team of professionals who I would have no hesitation in recommending to any potential client.

Seashell Trust are a school, college and residential care home for children and young people with the most complex needs. We have recently built 17 new 4 bedroom residential homes and used Innova to supply and install AirRise200 hoist units and AirGlide360 track systems in our en-suite bedrooms and other areas such as sensory rooms. Innova, were professional and understood our complex requirements right from design stage to installation. The hoisting system, is easy to use, looks good and since installation in august 2015, we have had no major issues in relation to reliability, Innova are extremely quick to respond to any issues we may have had and their service is impeccable. I’m so pleased with the installation we will hopefully be using the same systems in our new school which we are currently designing.

Innova has been instrumental in the design of our new community services building in which we have great expectations of being able to reach out and support lots more people wherever they are on their palliative journey. Innova is the right fit for us. We had so much confidence after meeting Elaine and Joe and knew they could guide us expertly through the process. Their expertise in creating a medical space that doesn’t look like a medical space has been invaluable. Close attention is being paid to the design, the right furniture and the right layout to ensure we focus on smooth customer flow, positive patient and visitor experience, and efficient, effective staff interactions. Thank you for your dedication and personal involvement in our project. We are thrilled with what you are doing. Your guidance has been wonderful, and your personal involvement with us is most appreciated. We would definitely recommend you to other Hospices.
