Nazareth House Mallow, Co. Cork
Nazareth House Care Home, Mallow, Co. Cork
This was a new 128-bed extension to the existing care home which was opened for elderly care in the 1930’s.
This new modern building was furnished by Hughes Furniture with the emphasis on comfort and functionality and with a design which worked with the furnishings in the original part of the home.
Hughes Furniture along with Nazareth Care Management, House Manager, Director of Nursing and the Architect worked together to plan a well thought out, outstanding design.
The 3-door wardrobes were fitted floor to ceiling by our own team with the emphasis on a quality, easily accessible product built to BS 14749, which matched the desk, locker and profiling bed. A bedroom chair and writing chair were supplied in natural beech colour with the vinyl cover to Crib 5 contract standard.
The dining and occasional tables in this home were supplied with a centre pedestal base for “ease of access”, with the tops having a wipe-clean heat resistant surface.
Quiet rooms, breakout areas and treatment rooms were furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs with matching coffee tables.
Hughes Furniture also supplied dining chairs with arms and skids as well as swivel chairs for the nurses’ stations.
With good co-ordination between our project management team and input from the Care Home management team we were able to work together to create a wonderful new home which has been a great result for Hughes Furniture and a privilege to be connected with.

Two New Care Homes in Bangor, Co. Down & Box, Wiltshire, England
Hughes furniture were offered contracts by two separate construction companies to supply some 130 bedrooms of specialised and bespoke bedroom furniture to two new Care Homes being built for Maria Malliband Homes, one in Northern Ireland and one in England.
Maria Malliband had already got a bedroom furniture specification from previous “new builds” and Hughes Furniture was tasked with introducing some new design features, not previously used in Care Homes.
Half of the bedrooms were furnished with “scooped-out” drawer fronts and “next day’s clothes hanging” wardrobes for Dementia patients. The other 50% of rooms were in a similar design with full fascias.
The wardrobes and desks were fitted to the wall and featured skirting board cut-outs for a clean edge.
The main feature in each bedroom was a very large fully-fitted headboard with a padded centre to match the curtains and with cut-outs for switches and light fittings. Each side of the bed there was a locker with a locking drawer and a fridge unit with vents.
Again, each bedroom was fitted out by Hughes Furniture’s Fitting Team to a very high standard, delivered on time and achieving a fabulous hotel-type bedroom for the residents.
Good co-operation between our Project Manager, the Interior Designer in London and the construction company to deliver the right result for everybody concerned.

Working with the Directors and Management at Conway Group Healthcare to introduce a wonderful design which was to become a common theme throughout the Brooklands homes in Antrim, Kilkeel, Dunmurry & Magherafelt.
This furniture range was in a two-tone ivory/light walnut combination finish incorporating a tall bedside with locking drawer, an oversized chest of drawers and a two-door wardrobe.
The bed end panels were also replaced by ourselves to incorporate the walnut colour which gave the bedroom a superb upmarket feel and finish.
