Additional Considerations

~ The kitchen can include a combination of fittings and appliances such as a sink, cooktop, oven/grill, microwave and refrigerator to support common ADL training and assessment tasks as per service requirements. Room exhaust to be provided to range hood over cooktop. ~ An operational model for responding to calls from staff/patients will be needed to support the inclusion of a nurse call system and is to be determined based on service requirements. If multiple ADL rooms are combined into an ADL suite nurse call buttons can be rationalised into a central location. ~ The room may be enclosed with a lockable door depending on security requirements. ~ External outlook and access to natural light is desirable.
