Northern Metropolitan provides 24-hour care to the elder community in Monsey, NY. With a 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit, a staff of multidisciplinary therapists cover a range of services including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as more tailored treatments for unique needs.
Healthcare facilities often have specialized requirements for healthcare furniture. Employee break rooms or back office areas for storage or basic administration are one thing. But furniture for medical office areas are usually made with special antimicrobial fabrics and other materials that are easy to keep clean and keep public health a priority. Even the seating furniture for a medical office waiting room is often durably engineered with bariatric seating needs in mind.
The office space planners on our team really enjoyed developing the layout for full office furnishings throughout this facility. They started with a custom reception desk at the main entrance – there’s nothing quite as impressively eye catching as a reception desk with lights built into the front!
From there, we provided an office layout that included exam room furniture, counseling room and classroom tables, Ushaped and L shaped desks for office administrators and nurses, staff lockers and breakroom tables, supply cabinets, and a quality selection of nice chairs for office workers and guests.
Our office designers recommended dark espresso wood tones with silver or grey metal furniture components, which brought stability and contrast to the vivid red accent walls. The result was a sophisticated, well balanced atmosphere that could be enjoyed by patients, staff, and visitors.
