The design and construction process in aged care involves careful planning and sensitivity to the needs of elderly residents. It starts with thoughtful design that promotes comfort and accessibility, followed by a construction phase that emphasizes safety and a supportive atmosphere.
Every detail, from layout to materials, is chosen to enhance the quality of life for residents, making each team member’s role crucial in creating a nurturing home.
At Interite, we pride ourselves on our national expertise in refurbishing aged care facilities across Australia. With a keen focus on safety, functionality, and contemporary standards, we meticulously transform spaces to enhance comfort and efficiency.
Our approach ensures each project meets the unique needs of residents and staff, delivering exceptional outcomes every time.
PROJECT IN PROGRESS
With the help of ACCAP funding, Capecare sought to upgrade their facility to better support residents with dementia, addressing issues such as disorienting wayfinding, non-compliant materials, and poor acoustics.
We delivered dementia-informed design solutions, including the use of materials with appropriate LRV values, improved acoustics, and memory-supportive elements. The updated palette supports changing cognition and vision, while upgraded private and communal spaces are designed to reduce confusion and enhance quality of care.
Rosewood is a state-of-the-art aged care facility in the Hub of West Perth. Its four floors, plus ground and basement, have been creatively designed around a heritage listed pre-existing home in its centre. Dignity + Respect + Comfort. The three most important factors our Design team held in high regard throughout the project’s design phase. Far beyond walls, floors and furniture, our approach was focused on crafting an environment that catered to all users, offering support and dignity to residents, care givers and their visiting families. Building a Dementia-friendly environment was integral to this brief. Through creative and strategic thinking, Interite Healthcare Interiors have delivered a facility that integrates home with healthcare. Small touches such as memorabilia of iconic places in WA and ‘then’ and ‘now’ Perth comparisons provide residents with links to their community and a sense of identity. The residential care facility boasts all the luxuries of home, if not more. A hotel style fit out was the focus of the brief, notwithstanding carefully considering colour perception and lighting, fixtures and fittings, surfaces and lighting, furniture, wayfinding and materials and surfaces. The end users were always centric to the design. Rosewood provides an environment that can support, motivate, and encourage independence whilst residents can enjoy safe, comfortable, recognisable, and relevant surroundings. We are privileged to have been a significant part of this benchmark residential aged care facility, creating a home that so many can now enjoy.

Together with Mercy Health, we designed and delivered a new, state-of-the-art aged care facility, tailored to meet the evolving needs of its residents. From the outset, we engaged in in-depth consultations with Mercy Health, ensuring that every aspect of the facility reflected their values and mission. We prioritized creating a comfortable, safe, and welcoming environment, incorporating modern amenities and innovative design elements. Our team of experts worked tirelessly to balance functionality with aesthetic appeal, ensuring the facility not only meets but exceeds current standards in aged care. Throughout the project, we maintained a transparent and collaborative process, adapting to feedback and making adjustments to ensure the final outcome was perfectly aligned with Mercy Health’s vision. The result is a vibrant, contemporary space that promotes well-being and community for its residents.
