CARE HOME PUBS

CARE HOMES

Since covid, and the devastating consequences for care institutions, many residential homes for elderly and disabled clients have created their own personal in-house pub spaces to recreate the genuine pub atmosphere to help bring people together, relax and socialise in comfort.  As specialist purveyors of traditional vintage retro and antique pub furniture and decor, we are ideally set-up to supply everything you need to bring your care home pub project to life, ensuring it looks as much as possible like a real pub. 

Turning an underused and communal room into a popular designated bar space allows residents to improve their quality of life in a relaxed pub-style environment, offering them an invaluable opportunity to socialise with other people they will never get cooped-up watching the telly. Some "pubgoers" may wish to play dominoes, others cards, or even a game of pool, if you choose to get a table installed for the more agile amongst them. What care homes with genuine authentic bar funiture and decor offer, is thus a much enhanced lifetsyle at a minimal cost.

Although ready to use, many commercial customers choose to recover them with specific fabrics to meet their colour co-ordination needs. 

GENUINE 1980s RETRO PUB CLOCKS

Likewise, staff will need to assist people into their rooms, so our genuine wooden and glass traditional pub clocks, many of which were manufactured locally by the defunct Quarmby factory in Huddersfield, will let everybody know when bedtime is approaching.
