Do your dining tables have rounded corners?

When choosing furniture for aged care settings, safety is just as important as style and durability. One small design feature can make a big difference — rounded corners on dining tables.

As we age, our skin becomes thinner, more fragile, and prone to bruising or tearing even from minor bumps. Sharp corners on solid timber or laminate tables can lead to painful injuries, especially in environments where mobility is reduced or assistive devices like walkers are used.

Rounded corners help prevent these injuries by softening impact points, creating a safer environment for residents, staff, and visitors alike. They also allow for easier movement around the table — no sharp edges to catch on clothing, skin, or wheelchairs.

At Wentworth Care, all our dining tables are designed with aged care in mind — combining warmth, practicality, and safety.

Rounded corners aren’t just a design choice. They’re a thoughtful detail that supports comfort and wellbeing, every day.
