A Main Laundry and Self-Service Facility for a New Care Home
Northcare Scotland provides premium residential care and assisted living accommodation. The Drumby project brought together the laundry and dishwashing needs of a 60-bed care home and its assisted living residents.
Northcare Scotland commissioned Thain Commercial to design, supply and fit the laundry and dishwashing equipment at Northcare Residences in Drumby, Clarkston. The development needed a main laundry, a self-service facility for assisted living residents and equipment for several food-service areas.
The specification was developed around the available space and project budget, with maintenance support planned alongside the installation.
A Main Laundry and Resident Self-Service Facility
As an Electrolux Professional partner, Thain Commercial combined manufacturer knowledge with its experience of planning care-home laundries.
Thain Commercial prepared layout drawings and an equipment specification for the care home’s laundry. This included Electrolux Professional Clarus Vibe washers.
A separate self-service laundrette within the assisted living suites enabled residents who could undertake their own washing to retain that part of their independence. These two facilities served different needs within the same development.
Dishwashing Across the Care Home
The dishwashing specification included Miele Professional catering dishwashers for five individual servery areas and a communal brasserie and lounge.
Heat-pump tumble dryers were recommended for the laundry as part of the client’s interest in lower running costs.
Thain Commercial’s Miele Professional partnership supported the selection, supply and installation of this equipment.
Commissioning and Continued Support
The laundry and dishwashing equipment was installed and commissioned for the new facility. Thain Commercial also took on the ongoing service and maintenance requirements of the machines.
This project continued an established working relationship with Northcare Scotland, covering layout design, equipment supply, commissioning and maintenance.
