CASE STUDY | Aged care home Dural House - Sydney, NSW

Dural House is Thompson Health Care’s brand new Additional Services home. Nestled in Sydney’s leafy suburb of Dural, in close proximity to local cafes, shops and transport, this contemporary, resort-style accommodation offers 145 beds that span high care, permanent and respite spaces.

With beautifully appointed rooms equipped with individual en-suites and oversized windows that offer views of carefully maintained courtyards and gardens, this high-end project provides the residents with superb amenities while retaining the alluring, semi-rural charm of the area.

With a charming location and outstanding amenities, all interiors had to be thoughtfully considered to create a space that would be sympathetic to its tranquil setting and in tune with the resident’s needs and preferences. In addition, it was paramount to ensure that the personal spaces - including the bathrooms - provided an adequate level of comfort, support and safety, alongside a residential feel that would generate a familiar and homely ambience.

As a result, all bathrooms were fitted out with a range of Caroma’s signature products that fuse the appeal of familial aesthetic, intuitive design and innate consideration for users with restricted mobility.

The Elegance Bath Shower, Basin and Sink Mixers boast a user-friendly design with clear cold and hot water indicators for improved visibility and an easy-grip loop handle, making turning the tap on and off comfortable and straightforward. The basin and sink mixers were specified alongside Caroma’s Opal 900 Twin Shelf Wash Basin. With rounded contours and clean, integrated shelf space, the basins are defined by a simple and uncluttered aesthetic and offer plenty of easily accessible storage that’s ideally suited for essential objects, like hair brushes or hand creams.

The toilet units specified throughout the facility are underpinned by the same innate idea of comfort and support. Care 660 Easy Height Toilet and Care 610 Cleanflush Connector Suite offer an elevated pan that enables easy transfer on and off the seat. This considered design is perfect for users with limited mobility or disability. In addition to that, both models are equipped with Cleanflush®. This rimless flushing system offers an advanced hygiene profile, well suited for hospitals and aged care homes where a superior level of hygiene and thorough cleaning are paramount.

Combining an elegant and familiar aesthetic, high-quality finish and considered design, the specified range of products fits in with the high-end character of the facility while ensuring all the comfort and support the residents and staff may require.
