Design is essential in elderly care, both now and in the future.
According to the latest official data from the “Padrón Continuo” (Continuous Register), in 2022 there were already 9.5 million senior citizens in Spain, accounting for 19.97 % of the total population of 47.5 million inhabitants in the country.
The National Institute of Statistics (INE) predicts that by 2040, Spain will have a total of 14.2 million people over the age of 65, representing 27.4 % of an estimated population of 52 million inhabitants.
This is also reflected in the October 2023 report from Envejecimiento en red (Aging on the web), a laboratory that is part of the Population Department of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), which indicates that starting from 2030, there will be a sharp increase in the senior population, with the aging of the generations born during the baby boom of the 1960s.
These data highlight the urgency of a social transformation in how we approach the care of people over 70 years old. Society must ensure the well-being and quality of life of this part of the population, guaranteeing that this stage is as pleasant as possible. It is essential to provide an environment where the elderly feel cared for, respected, and can enjoy a fulfilling and dignified life. At Seniorcare, our commitment is to manufacture specialized furniture that contributes to creating pleasant and comfortable spaces for the elderly.
When it comes to furniture for elderly care facilities, it is imperative to rely on design and manufacturing professionals who consider all the comfort and safety requirements needed by both seniors and individuals with reduced mobility. In addition to functionality, at Seniorcare, we also work tirelessly to offer products with innovative designs, quality upholstery, and inviting shapes. Ergonomics, on the other hand, ensures comfort not only for users but also for their caregivers.
At Seniorcare, our goal is to provide solutions that enhance the caregiving experience and promote a safe and comfortable environment for all, while also contributing to aesthetic well-being. Additionally, the manufacturing of new furniture proposals adheres here to the highest quality standards in both production processes and the selection of raw materials, from hardware to upholstery for geriatric armchairs, chairs, and seats.
The handling of a piece of furniture, its adjustment system, safety mechanisms, and the removal of sharp edges are factors that must be considered in the design of furniture for an increasingly significant number of elderly individuals. At Seniorcare, we pay attention to every detail of each of our pieces, working with design professionals who excel in both the technical aspects of the product as well as its functionality and aesthetics.
