Automatic Doors for Care Homes

Automatic doors for care homes need to serve residents, visiting families and staff throughout the day. Some people need more time or assistance to move through a doorway, while the reception team needs to manage visitors without making arrival unnecessarily difficult.

Care Home Doors

Accessible Care Home Entrance Doors with Controlled Entry

Heavy care home doors can be difficult for residents using walking aids or wheelchairs. Automatic operation can reduce the physical effort needed to enter or leave, with activation and safety arrangements selected around the people using the doorway. Our disabled door access page explains accessible entrance options in more detail.

Where visitor entry needs authorisation, an automatic entrance can be combined with suitable access control. The opening arrangement should reflect your home’s procedures and the level of staff oversight required.

We discuss resident movement, visitor admission and emergency arrangements with your team before recommending a system.

Door Systems for Different Areas of Your Home

Care Home Entrance Doors

Main entrances need to accommodate residents, relatives and visiting professionals. We assess the approach, available opening and reception position, including the space needed for assisted movement through the doorway.

An automatic sliding system or a suitable automated swing door may be appropriate, depending on the entrance and how it is used.

Automatic Doors for Nursing Homes and Shared Areas

Residents may move between reception, lounges and other shared spaces with different levels of support. A door that works well for visitors at the main entrance may not suit an internal route.

We assess each proposed location individually, considering available space, activation and staff involvement. Any existing fire door function also needs to be considered before changes are proposed.

Installation - Repair - Maintenance

Installation Planned Around Residents and Care Routines

We agree the schedule, working areas and alternative access routes with your team before installation. This helps you plan around meals, visits and residents’ daily routines.

Elite’s engineers have enhanced DBS checks and follow your site procedures. We discuss contractor access and staff communication before work begins, then test the installation and provide a handover covering operation and ongoing care.

Maintaining Dependable Access for Residents and Visitors

An entrance fault can increase the assistance residents need and disrupt visiting arrangements. Routine maintenance of care home doors helps identify wear, sensor problems and changes in performance before they lead to further disruption. Servicing should follow the manufacturer’s guidance and take account of BS EN 16005, the safety standard for powered pedestrian doors.

Our repair service can assess a fault and recommend the work needed. When planning servicing, it is useful to identify entrances that residents depend on and agree how accessible entry will be managed while work takes place.

Discuss Your Care Home Entrance Requirements

Tell us about your residents’ access needs and the doors you want to improve. We can assess an existing entrance, plan an installation or discuss ongoing maintenance for your home.

I would just like to thank you and your team for the successful delivery of the QI Entrance Project at the weekend.

It was the first time we have worked with your company and I would like to say from the beginning, your communications, and responses to any questions I had were swift.

Being a high-profile building, the client was obviously concerned about safety and how the site was left at the end of each day, they need not have been. The standard of work and professionalism was refreshing to see, coupled with fact all your Health and Safety documentation, programme etc was available immediately.
