We were contacted by P+HS Architects for this project after working with them on a previous job. South Tyneside Hospital were in the process of designing a new integrated care facility in South Shields which required various hoist systems installing to allow patients to be transferred with ease. Haven Court provides care for individuals living with dementia, and those who have been discharged from hospital, but still require care before getting a place in a nursing home or palliative care facility. P+HS Architects contacted us because they knew we could deliver a discreet solution that would be in keeping with the dementia-friendly environment they were designing.
Haven Court was ‘Highly Commended’ in the Dementia Care category of the Building Better Healthcare Awards 2017. Find out more here.
