Parasols for Hospitals & Care Homes: Comfortable Shade for Patient, Visitor & Staff Spaces

Create safer, more comfortable outdoor areas with healthcare-grade parasols for patient gardens, rehabilitation terraces, visitor courtyards, café patios and staff break spaces. Built from marine-grade components with fade-resistant, UV-protective canopies, these are all-weather parasols designed for daily use in hospitals, care homes and hospices. Optional accessories include discreet LED lighting and (model-dependent) heating.

Choose the right format for your site—cantilever, centre-post or wall-mounted—then match bases and accessories to suit surfaces, accessibility and traffic flows. Cantilever keeps ground clear for mobility aids such as strollers & wheelchairs.  wall-mounted saves space in tight courtyards; centre-post suits through-table dining and social areas.

Parasol Types for Healthcare

• Cantilever parasols — No centre pole; generous reach over benches, wheelchairs and pathways; ideal where clear ground space matters.
• Centre-post parasols — Classic through-table setup for dining and social clusters; simple operation and tidy layouts.
• Wall-mounted parasols — Space-saving arms that fold flat; perfect for narrow walkways, small courtyards and balcony terraces.

Patient Gardens & Sensory Spaces

Provide calm, comfortable shade across lawns, pathways and raised planters. Cantilever designs reach over benches  without a central pole; wall-mounted arms work in compact courtyards; centre-post sits neatly through picnic and activity tables.

Visitor Courtyards & Family Areas

Create welcoming spaces for visits and quiet breaks. Centre-post suits through-table seating and tea points; cantilever covers benches and prams with no centre pole; wall-mounted helps in narrow, hard-landscaped courtyards.

Café Terraces & Retail Outlets

Deliver consistent shade over table runs and queue lines. Centre-post is ideal for fixed table layouts; cantilever keeps aisles free for trolleys and wheelchairs; larger spans maintain clear sightlines to entrances and kiosks. Add LED lighting to extend use into early evenings.

Staff Break Areas & Roof Gardens

Support restorative breaks on rooftops and terraces with wind-rated shade. Giant centre-post umbrellas handle exposed positions; cantilever maximises usable space around benches and planters.

Branded & Wayfinding

Reinforce identity on site with branded hospital parasols and care home branded umbrellas (availability varies by model). Add trust or home logos to canopy panels/valances and select colours that complement your signage and wayfinding. We’ll advise on placement, sizing and contrast so branding stays clear and tasteful outdoors.
