Residential treatment centers have one main objective: create a space that supports recovery without compromising safety.

It’s obvious this balance must be sustained from initial patient check-in through final departures, but how? As one of the leading providers of behavioral healthcare and hospital furniture, we’ve helped transform facilities across the nation into empowering places of healing. Not only does choosing the right furniture promote safe daily operations, but can make a world of difference in keeping both residents and staff comfortable.

Read on to learn how crucial residential treatment center furniture really is to the success of patient recovery – and how easy it is to furnish your facility into the 21st century.

Choosing The Right Furnishing Solutions For Your Treatment Facility

Humanizing an environment that’s intended to support recovery can be a challenge. The way a space looks, feels, and ultimately functions is completely contingent on how it’s laid out and furnished. For example, rooms hosting group activities require seating for inclusive discussions. Everything from shapes to color selection impacts the way we feel when entering a room. In other words, a lot of options must be considered in order to give each room a sense of purpose. This is why rehabilitation centers must encompass properties aimed to assist their residents on the road to recovery.

Colorful Environments Keep Residents Engaged & Connected

Utilizing color is one of the easiest ways treatment centers can create therapeutic environments. Basic color theory indicates certain colors can help reduce tension, assist in behavior modification, and ultimately enhance the safety of both residents and staff. When choosing furnishings for your own facility, consider moving away from dull, monochromatic colors and instead opt for colors like green, blue or purple that provide visual interest and positive distraction.

By furnishing your facility with a rocking chair, you introduce a multifunctional furniture piece that helps keep residents calm as they go through recovery. The RockSmart Rocker is extremely durable and strong enough to withstand daily use without hindering safety to other residents and staff. Its anti-ligature properties make it the perfect addition to community areas or private spaces like a bedroom or counseling room.

Support Residents In Their Healing Journey With Intentional, Effective Furniture

More and more treatment centers are reconfiguring their spaces to include more color and function than ever before. Choosing furniture for your facility starts with understanding the ways in which you need your furniture to support residents. Set them up for success by furnishing sleeping areas with warm, welcoming finishes. Remember to opt for color when the opportunity presents itself and know that it’s okay to start with single furniture pieces that help residents self-soothe. As long as momentum isn’t lost, it’ll be no time at all before your residential treatment center is completely furnished with seating, sleeping, and dining arrangements that holistically support recovery and safety.
