“So how does
a well-designed environment take on a care giving task?
How does it "relieve" us of
our daily stresses or, in a more compromised state, actually
facilitate the healing process? Those of us in health
care design have been
talking about "healing environments" ever since the first
Symposium on Healthcare Design in 1988. ”

Three generations ago, our ancestors immigrated north to the Canadian prairies. They came from Europe through Quebec and Wisconsin to the end of the rails at Radisson, Saskatchewan.
Great great granddad and grandma were true pioneers and weren't one to stay where others had already set up. Going beyond the rails, they journeyed further out to Maymont, Saskatchewan and set up the general store, post office, and farm. We have fond memories of being in the old store - the
radiant warmth from the cast iron stove, smells of coffee and burning wood, and sounds of work boots on plank floors. We also remember listening to grandma telling stories of her life as a child growing up without the creature comforts we take for granted today and duly impressed at the
strength of pioneer women. In fact when great great granddad died it was great great grandma who took over running the entire Bean enterprises including the construction of the “modern” farm house – it wasn’t made of dirt, had real windows, a big kitchen with an island and a free standing tub!
We’re no longer selling flour or sugar but we are sharing what we have learnt over a hundred years about the business of staying healthy, well and comfortable. Enjoy!
