We are happy to be in partnership with the Good Samaritan Society and Armstrong Flooring to provide quality living spaces . When the Good Samaritan Society decided they needed to make changes in many of their central Alberta accommodations , they contacted us to inquire about an appropriate solution . We made product recommendations that would help to streamline the finishes throughout their many facilities .

With the prospect of removing the various existing finishes of laminate , carpet , and aged vinyl , the replacements chosen would need to be carefully considered . The decision to use Armstrong ’ s Rejuvenations made the best sense for a variety of reasons . As Armstrong boasts , “ Rejuvenations is the perfect choice for areas where infection control is a concern . This easy-to-clean vinyl sheet improves impermeability and contributes to a sanitary , more aseptic environment . Rejuvenations has a low-maintenance , UV cured polyurethane coating that eliminates the need to polish or spray buff . It saves time and money , and reduces life-cycle costs .”

With the vast array of health and mobility needs throughout the Good Samaritan Society ’ s many facilities , durability and versatility weren ’ t the only factors that needed careful deliberation . Lifestyle and guidance were also important . Design details and shapes with proven color combinations were used to help patrons with conditions such as dementia feel safe and contribute to wayfinding throughout the spaces . Such techniques were incorporated in George Hennig Place , Mountain View Centre , Stony Plain Care Centre , Spruce Grove Centre and Millwoods Centre . A variety of other colors and finishes were used to create a warm , comfortable environment and a home-like

atmosphere in Pembina Village , Clearwater Centre , Dr . Gerald Zetter Care Centre , Wedman House , Southgate Care Centre , Good Samaritan Place , Good Shepherd Home , and the Corporate Offices .

Armstrong ’ s commitment to health and the environment made their products a perfect fit . With low VOC emissions , compliance with LEED credit EQ4.3 for indoor air quality , and compatibility with Green Guide for Healthcare GGHC-IEQ4.3 , the product has been a great benefit for the clients of The Good Samaritan Society facilities . To keep the facilities functional and maintain a healthy living environment during the renovations , our installation crews received special training , and appropriate equipment was used to ensure dust containment , air quality , and infection control standards were met .

We are proud to continue to be a part of improving the quality of life for so many through this relationship and look forward to future projects together with Armstrong and The Good Samaritan Society of Alberta . www . carpetstudio . ca
