Dementia Friendly Flooring from Polyflor

Today's vinyl flooring is available in a multitude of types, with a variety of designs and decorations that are so often used interchangeably by specifiers to create stylish and welcoming interiors across many sectors.

In dementia care, careful consideration needs to be made on the overall finish, colour and look of the floor so that user perception is not confused which then impacts negatively on the individual and could increase agitation, disorientation and anxiety. This can result in the increased risk of falls.

If a resident with dementia feels more at home because of the interior environment surrounding them, this can lead to these people demonstrating less stress.

Polyflor is committed to offering suitable guidance for specialist care facilities and are aware of the flooring design and specification which can help those with dementia to feel more comfortable and at ease.
