Covered Outdoor Areas from Care 2 Cover

Whatever a person’s age, making the transition from home into assisted living premises can be overwhelming. It’s a huge step, and getting used to new surroundings can take some time.

Anyone working in the Care sector will know how important it is to make this new living environment as much like home as possible, which can be a difficult task in itself. After all, don’t we all enjoy the freedom and independence of our own homes?

Many people making the decision to move into such accommodation – whether it’s a care, nursing or retirement home, sheltered or warden-controlled housing, mental health or even respite care facilities – might feel like they’re giving up some of their independence, regardless of how long they intend to stay there. That’s why it’s so important that they feel comfortable in their new surroundings.

Most accommodation of this type will try to offer communal areas and activities to suit its residents, helping them enjoy their time and encouraging them to relax and socialise with one another. That said, there can be limitations; not everyone’s needs and preferences are the same.

Outdoor weather shelters are an ideal way to vary the setting for dining, recreation and socialising, making it no different to sitting in your own garden and enjoying the fresh air... that is, until it’s too hot or too wet to do so.

So how can you solve the problem?

At Inside2Outside, we believe that people should be able to make the most of being outdoors. We’ve been designing and manufacturing canopies, shelters and walkways for schools for eight years, and we’ve become experts in giving children the space to play and learn safely in an outdoor environment.

We believe the benefits transfer to the Care sector, which is why we’re using our knowledge and experience to offer Care2Cover canopies - an ideal way to create outdoor covered areas, outdoor sun shades, smoking shelters and covered walkways. Many canopy companies have a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but we design and make our canopies to fit any area, tailoring them to your specific needs. Residents can enjoy all kinds of activities, protected from the elements.

Our unique structures offer:
Strong and long-lasting aluminium frames which will not rust  Integral gutter so that water can drain quickly and easily  Roofs made from 100% waterproof tensile fabric which is translucent but still provides shade and blocks harmful UV rays  Three different roof shapes (peak, dome and apex) to match and enhance their surroundings and existing roof lines  A large variety of roof and frame colours  Modular designs which can be extended and relocated  Plus you can enhance your outdoor weather shelters with optional extras.

All this is backed up by our unique 8-point service guarantee, and you can rest assured that we can offer the highest levels of advice, access and support throughout the whole project, from initial enquiry to installation and beyond. What’s more, all our staff (including Head Office) are CRB-checked, giving you extra peace of mind.
