Alliance Health at Marie Esther Rest Home, USA

Resting easy with Altro

Altro Aquarius, Altro Tegulis

Issue

Alliance Health at Marie Esther is a senior living community in the USA that provides a variety of elderly care services. The rest home offers residents wellness programs, social activities and additional support with activities of daily living.

To continue providing the highest level of care, Marie Esther Rest Home underwent a renovation, elevating its living spaces with evidence-based design demonstrating that living environments can influence a person’s wellbeing.

Approach

Designs that are friendly to older people and those with dementia can significantly improve their daily lives by reducing stress, frustration, and confusion. Marie Esther helped achieve this by upgrading the residents’ bathrooms to make them feel more homely. Tile-effect wall panels that simulate the feeling of ceramic tiles and a calming colour for the floor were specified. In addition, with the residents of senior living facilities at a higher risk from contracting an infection, hygiene and safety from slips were critical criteria for the floors and walls.

Solution

Altro Tegulis tile-effect wall panels were chosen, providing the look and feel of tiles, with embedded grout lines and clean lines, ease of maintenance and cleanability due to its ability to prevent water and bacteria from penetrating below the surface, allowing for thorough cleaning and disinfecting.

Altro Aquarius was selected for the bathroom floors, providing comfort underfoot and keeping residents and staff safe from common contaminants such as shampoo and conditioner.

Altro Aquarius is a specialist floor solution for combined wet and dry, developed for lasting performance in shoes or barefoot. Altro Aquarius provides comfort underfoot and resistance to wear and tear from shoes.

Altro Tegulis tile-effect wall panels offer the ideal alternative to traditional tiles for wet rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and retail spaces. With a range of tile-effect patterns offering a grout-free alternative to tiles, Altro Tegulis offers a more familiar feeling than traditional wall panel sheets.
