When it comes to care homes or residential homes, the grounds and gardens can be a significant selling point and a space for enjoyment. But what are the benefits of professional grounds maintenance for care homes? And what can you expect from a professional team?
What are the benefits of professional grounds maintenance for care homes?
There are a number of benefits and advantages to choosing a professional grounds maintenance team for any care home. These benefits include:
- Health and wellbeing benefits
- Making a good first impression
- Health and safety benefits
Health and wellbeing benefits
One of the biggest benefits of the grounds of your care home is the wellbeing and health benefits this space can bring. However, an unruly or unkempt space has the opposite impact. As such, hiring a professional team to take care of your grounds can be a good way to ensure that that space can be enjoyed as it should.
Well maintained gardens and grounds allow your residents to have access to green space, and this has been shown to promote both mental and physical health. This can have a huge positive impact on elderly residents who may have limited mobility or cognitive impairments. By choosing a professional team to take care of your gardens or grounds space, you can be sure that this space will be visually pleasing, functional, accessible and also well designed. This can create a garden or grounds space that is peaceful, tranquil and useful, all year round.
Making a good first impression
For any care home, creating a good first impression for new residents, and their families or friends, is essential. A good first impression can help residents to settle in faster, and can also give peace of mind to families who may be the ones making the decision. The condition of your grounds or gardens, particularly those in front of the entrance of your care home, can have a significant impact on the impression that your property makes. A well maintained outdoor space, with attractive plants, trees, lawns, and shrubs can show that your care home is well managed and well cared for, just like your residents.
By choosing a professional grounds maintenance team like us here at Green Scenery, you can be sure that your gardens and grounds will be consistently tidy and attractive, all year round, including trimmed hedges, neat lawns and attractive flowers and shrubs. This helps your property make the best first impression all year round.
In addition, well maintained grounds can also bring pride to your residents who will take pleasure in enjoying the outdoor space and showing this off to their family or friends.
Improving health and safety with professional grounds maintenance for care homes
While grounds and gardens can be an attractive and visual feature of your care home, it’s essential that these are well maintained. Choosing a professional team for this, like us here at Green Scenery, means that you can be sure that your grounds will be safe and accessible for your residents. This is crucial as many care home residents may have mobility limitations, and so paths need to be clear, slip proof and level. With professional grounds maintenance, you can be sure that risks will be reduced and any dangers will be promptly addressed.
