The Right Prescription
In response to the call for warmer, quieter, more humanizing and overall healthier healthcare environments, carpet is increasingly the flooring of choice – finding its way into a variety of areas from administrative spaces and waiting rooms to nursing stations, corridors and patient rooms. Given carpeting’s soothing design aesthetic and the health benefits it provides both patients and caregivers, it’s no surprise.
