Teal LifeCare equips Rowan View, a new medium secure unit for forensic patients.
The new 8 ward 123-bed Rowan View Hospital has now opened, providing a ‘state of the art’ medium secure unit on the Maghull Health Park on Merseyside.
Teal Lifecare was delighted to be selected by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust to provide furniture for the scheme, which represents a step change in care for forensic patients with mental health and learning disabilities.
The £60 million centre of excellence for forensic care, which was designed by IBI Architects and built by Kier Construction, has equal emphasis on transformative care for patients and a positive culture for staff. The light and space within the building supports calmness and relaxation, whilst the views out to the sensitive landscaping add to a therapeutic experience of the building.
A wide variety of Teal’s Lifecare products were selected for a range of areas, including lounges, dining spaces, activity and therapy rooms. Contemporary styles such as Asuka sofas provide a real focal point within day spaces, adding interest and organic form to further enhance the interior. Each ward has its own colour identity, and carefully selected upholstery helps to further individualise the ward environment.
The central café space opens out into an extensive courtyard, which benefits from the weighted and durable Roku and Keata chairs, combined with low level Roku tables, and Porcini dining tables. Colours were selected to compliment the attractive flower gardens, and add safe, attractive and colourful seating options to these external spaces.
