Design & Real Estate Innovation
The architecture and design of a building profoundly influence health, mood and wellbeing. At Loveday, we integrate this knowledge into every detail of our exceptional residences, creating environments that are as inspiring as they are functional.
Loveday Building & Design Standards
Every Loveday residence meets the highest statutory and regulatory standards, including planning, fire safety, accessibility, health and safety, and CQC registration. But we go far beyond compliance — leading with innovation and research-led design to create environments that enhance comfort, safety, and ease of living for Members, their friends, and families.
Drawing on guidance based on The Dementia Services Design Centre (University of Stirling) recommendations, alongside leading architects, designers and real estate specialists in care and senior living, we have created innovative design elements found only within Loveday residences.
Innovative equipment and technology had been researched and used to support the delivery of high- quality care and independence. This included a circadian lighting system and acoustic monitoring technology, which helped staff monitor people in a less intrusive manner. A relative told us the benefit of having sensor lighting in the room helped to reduce any falls as it enabled their family member to be more independent. They added, “The quality of the rooms and facilities are second to none.” Relatives also told us how this technology provided them with extra reassurances about their care.
