Here, Ashleigh Powney, Marketing and Communications Specialist at Invisible Creations\u00ae shares more about the company\u2019s journey to Design for Dignity\u2122.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years ago, we came up with an idea to revolutionise the design of home adaptations. Home adaptations, like grab bars and rails, are products that, research shows, can make the biggest difference for prolonging independence and reducing the need for residential care. A brilliant solution to support people\u2019s health and mobility in and around their home, but the reality is that not enough people are getting them installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found that minor adaptations can make the biggest difference to support people to live independently for longer. But we also found that they are often delayed, rejected or completely ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is this?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is quite simple \u2013 poor design and a lack of awareness and understanding of the products people want in their homes; how they interact with their home environment; and how the current products make people feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How did we come to discover this?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisible Creations\u00ae journey began on the National Housing Federation\u2019s \u2018Creating our Future\u2019 innovation programme. I wasn\u2019t on the original team, but I know the story well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Marketing Director, Laura Wood, Channel Development Manager, Chelsea Fleming, and our Head of Product Design, Paul Pentelow along with others from housing associations across the UK were seconded from their regular jobs for 16 weeks, tasked with tackling some of society\u2019s biggest issues; challenged to find a solution to support people to live well in their homes for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An exciting journey which led to the making of Invisible Creations\u00ae and our mission to Design for Dignity\u2122.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-original-team-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-original-team-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-original-team-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-original-team-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-original-team-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-original-team-1320x742.png 1320w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-original-team.png 1334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Original Invisible Creations\u00ae Team<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>During our journey we\u2019ve discovered that people refuse to get adaptations installed because of their clinical appearance.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People would rather make dangerous decisions and risk their health than get the current products installed. Our very own Laura Wood\u2019s gran, Sheila \u2013 the inspiration behind Invisible Creations\u00ae &#8211; is a perfect example of this. Sheila was finding it more difficult to get around but refused to get the adaptations she so desperately needed, because she wanted her home to look like a home and not a hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sheila-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sheila-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sheila-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sheila-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sheila-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sheila-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sheila-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The lovely Sheila Webster &#8211; Demonstrating the Plant Pot Holder with grips<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The frightening reality is many people, just like Sheila, often delay installing the current adaptations until they reach crisis point, to stop their homes from becoming \u2018medicalised\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current adaptations are installed reactively, once someone has fallen or ended up in hospital, and at that point \u2013 it\u2019s often too late to really make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current equipment offered is practical and functional, yet unattractive and clinical, and feedback says that adaptations \u2018echo hospitals\u2019 or that they \u2018spoil the d\u00e9cor\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This presents people with a range of products that, although functional, are clinical, unattractive and stigmatising \u2013 a symbol of lost independence, disability, old age and vulnerability. Products that exclude customers and have so much negative stigma attached to them that people would rather make dangerous decisions that damage their health than get them installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Evidence finds that delays in installing adaptations can reduce their effectiveness.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is critical action is taken to move to a preventative model that provides more aesthetically pleasing, aspirational adaptations that people are proud to have in their homes, and consequently installed sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What really resonates is the lack of choice in the marketplace for home adaptations. The clinical looking products that we see have so much negative stigma attached to them, that people would rather risk falling than have them installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheila&nbsp;was having falls in her home and really didn&#8217;t want the ugly plastic grab rails installed because, in her own words &#8220;They\u2019re&nbsp;hideous, they make me&nbsp;feel old, they\u2019re embarrassing, and&nbsp;they don\u2019t go with my home or&nbsp;my&nbsp;outfits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She ended up in hospital and one of the conditions of her coming home was to have the clinical white grab rails installed. Sheila was given no choice in what she was offered. She came home to find the plastic, ugly grab rails outside her front door and in her bathroom, and as much as she was pleased to be home, she was devastated that she had to compromise her standards and her dignity to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sheila and the many others like her want a better option and they deserve it.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are millions of people just like Sheila who don\u2019t want the stigmatising, clinical adaptations in their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all deserve to live in homes that make us feel safe, support our health and well-being and ultimately meet our needs as they change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So, for us, the solution was simple \u2013 place dignity at the heart of design.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly what we did. We set off in the pursuit of designing inclusive products that are functional <em>and<\/em> attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Toilet-Roll-Holder-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-735\" width=\"389\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Toilet-Roll-Holder-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Toilet-Roll-Holder-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Toilet-Roll-Holder-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Toilet-Roll-Holder-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Toilet-Roll-Holder-1-450x600.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Toilet-Roll-Holder-1-1320x1760.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Toilet-Roll-Holder-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" \/><figcaption>Toilet Roll Holder with Grip<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re proud to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.invisiblecreations.co.uk\/products\/\">say we now have a range of dual-purpose and attractive home adaptations<\/a> that people are proud to install in their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by our research, and the feedback from older people we\u2019ve created a suite of discreet, dual-purpose products that incorporate all of the support of a grab rail, but the style and subtlety of every day household features \u2013 a mirror, toilet roll holder, shower shelf and a plant pot holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Mirror.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-732\" width=\"397\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Mirror.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/socialhousingmatters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Mirror-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><figcaption>Mirror with Grip<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisible Creations\u00ae provides an opportunity for the market to change, to provide customers with the products that they want, that they are happy to install into homes earlier, and that ultimately will support them to remain independent in their own homes for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re disrupting the current reactive and restrictive adaptations model by encouraging more organisations to start installing these products strategically, as a preventative measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve received significant support from housing associations, who are now beginning to install the initial product range into their housing stock.
