Geriatric ward 113 at the Aalborg hospital is focusing on long-term patients, typically elderly people suffering from 4-6 different illnesses such as general medical diseases, lung infections and endochrinological disorders. The ward needed a bathroom which was adequately dimensioned and capable of accommodating a wide variety of very heavy patients requiring specialized and intensive care.
Effect
The hospital wanted to preserve the many small, existing bathrooms. The challenge was thus to locate a suitable room and to decide on a planning that would satisfy the needs of patients requiring many different kinds of care. The solution was to convert an existing rinse room into a “multi-functional” bathroom that facilitates the tasks of administering care to many different patients while, at the same time, optimising carers’ working conditions according to current legislation.
