Silkeborg Central Hospital

The central hospital of Silkeborg aims at satisfying any patient’s need for examination, treatment, care and rehabilitation in a highly cooperative and professional atmosphere. The hospital’s bathrooms were rebuilt and refurbished as part of a major renovation project aimed at satisfying patients’ demands for optimal treatment within the framework of the current Health and Safety at Work regulations.

Effect

The bathrooms were renovated and several bathrooms were combined to increase space. Despite the efforts made to increase floor space, the rooms remained quite small compared to Danish standards. To compensate for this, the furnishing had to be very flexible and thanks to the adjustability of the Pressalit Care products installed, the rooms are now accessible to all kinds of patients, no matter their physical abilities.

Aalborg Hospital

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.

The Lincoln Hotel

Conversion of 2 existing ground floor standard hotel rooms into disabled hotel rooms with en-suite shower rooms.

Purpose: To be able to market the rooms to non-disabled clients by removing support arms and shower seat when not required. At the same time, the customer wanted high quality special needs equipment to meet the requirements of disabled clients when needed. It was important that the rooms were equipped with products that were safe, functional, aesthetically acceptable, and easy to remove and clean.


Effect

2 rooms, 1 for left-handed users, 1 for right-handed users. Both equipped with identical equipment (see below). The rooms now have the products in-situ all of the time, but the equipment may be removed if not required. The result is a solution that meets the needs of most disabled and elderly guests of the hotel. It also means that the hotel meets the requirements of the DDA and can advertise the facilities they have as being of a high standard.
