Stance in Focus

Stance Healthcare’s Behavioral Health (BH) furniture is known for its unique balance of extreme durability, safety, and unexpected comfort. Often, our collections are used to support patients undergoing treatment for various mental health and Behavioral Health conditions in supervised, inpatient and outpatient BH settings. From a comfortable place to sit during a therapy session, to a safe place to dine, and beds that offer a residential feel for a restful night of sleep, Stance’s Behavioral Health products are built for healing experiences.

While ideal in Behavioral Health environments, our long-lasting BH products can support healing anywhere, including in comorbid care facilities. These facilities provide care for individuals suffering from one or more medical or psychiatric health conditions, alongside primary health issues. (An example patient might include someone suffering from depression in relation to multiple heart-related incidents.)

For healthcare furniture, comorbid care facilities present a unique challenge: How can these multifaceted patients be best served from the same furniture, case goods, and other built accessories, with the goal of avoiding segmented care zones? To maximize efficiency, cost, and ultimately provide a smooth healthcare experience, facilities can ideally avoid fragmenting care delivery areas by designing universally safe and inviting areas for waiting, lounge, treatment, and consultation.

Selecting furniture that offers safety, function, comfort, and aesthetics for these multi-purpose areas is a vital first step in achieving this, and Stance’s BH furniture is one of few available healthcare furniture lines up to the task. And because our BH furniture looks and feels like general healthcare furniture, our many BH offerings blend seamlessly in any clinical setting intended for comorbid care.

As referenced in a recent Medical Construction + Design article on comorbid care facilities, “The intersection of mental and physical health conditions complicates patient care, requiring integrated treatment strategies that address both dimensions effectively.” Our BH collections offer the versatility needed to serve any patient in these busy spaces, as BH-grade rooms can be designed as part of a standard medical or surgical unit.

Our Lotus series, built for Behavioral Health, is a prime example of how we might use BH furniture to support comorbid care. This collection includes highly durable beds, desks, tables and shelves in a wood grain inspired finish – supporting a residential-inspired aesthetic that applies well in healthcare settings. But the series’ subtly over-engineered features, including double-wall bed construction, proprietary joinery system, and ligature-resistant features, make Lotus a universal fit for comorbid care delivery.

Metal seating, healthcare’s most-used seating category, is another such example. Stance’s BH-grade metal seats, like Legend, offer the customizations, safety features, and comforting aesthetic to support myriad end-users in these settings. Legend’s wide seat width is there to support a diabetic patient who is also clinically obese, for example. Legend provides durability to stand the test of time, with its fully-welded design.

Our BH-grade drum tables also bring the versatility and durability needed for comorbid care settings. Built to withstand high-use environments, Stance’s Resilia drum table, made from Marmoleum, an ultra-strong flooring material, features rounded corners and a generous surface area that can safely support objects or even serve as a footstool for waiting areas.

In addition, Stance’s popular BH lounge seating collections apply seamlessly across comorbid care settings. With a comforting rocking motion, our Oasis Glider is built to soothe end-users in both Behavioral Health and general therapeutic environments. And our versatile Clover lounge collection, offered in multiple widths, invites a comfortable sit in its beautifully styled curves, with hidden safety enhancements that protect comorbid patients, care providers, and loved ones.

With the healthcare furniture industry’s deepest breadth of line across all categories, Stance Healthcare has the selection comorbid care facilities need to offer multidimensional care to comorbid patients – with the safety and durability of Behavioral Health furniture standards.
