The latest care home project to be delivered by Trail Group’s Fire Protection Division was to install over 50 fire doors for a care home in Berkshire.
The Trail team installed replacement fire doors for the 76-bed home including both entrance and communal doors at Clara Court in Maidenhead.
Appointed by Housing Solutions, four of our technicians worked on the five-week installation programme, which is a key part of the building’s fire safety strategy.
As many residents in care homes are not mobile and are therefore unable to self-evacuate in the event of a fire, maintaining the highest standards of fire safety is absolutely critical.
Clara Court is an ‘outstanding’-rated care home which provides quality residential, dementia and respite care for older people.
The purpose-built home has its own hair salon, café and a vintage-themed lounge, plus other shared lounges and activity spaces.
To celebrate the completion of this fast-track project, our fire safety team was very pleased to donate a £500 Hobbycraft voucher to the care home residents.
