Joanne Jeyes of Joanne Jeyes Interiors discusses how and why she considers design to be paramount to a care home’s success, and how thoughtful design can enhance comfort, dignity, and wellbeing
Care homes are more than just buildings — they are homes for some of society's most vulnerable individuals. The way these spaces are designed has a profound impact on the wellbeing, comfort, and independence of residents.
As an interior designer, I am tuned in to how design impacts everyday life — for everyone. In public spaces and shared spaces such as care homes, this is even more the case. I am passionate about sharing my insights and proving that thoughtful interior design can transform a care home from a clinical environment into a warm, inviting space that promotes dignity, safety, and a sense of belonging. It will also help a home stand out as being a space that truly understands the needs of its residents.
As the demand for care home spaces grows, so too does the need for environments that cater to a diverse range of needs, including those living with dementia or mobility impairments. By understanding the principles of accessible and dementia-friendly design, care providers can create spaces that not only meet regulations but also enhance the quality of life for residents, support staff efficiency, and provide peace of mind for families.
