Five star private health facility
MELOMED Tokai is a perfect example of how with the right medical practitioners, a conducive hospital environment can provide a great sense of comfort and peace of mind instead of making people anxious.
Entering Melomed Tokai’s double-volume reception area feels like arriving at a hotel with a “free-flow feeling” carrying through to the curved staircase.
“Melomed Tokai has the look and feel of a five-star facility, from the spacious luxurious wards to the ample natural lighting, expansive scenic views of Cape Town’s mountains, and modern design of interior decorations,” says Joe Regal, Facilities Manager at Melomed.
Melomed firmly believes its facilities should not feel or even smell like the traditional hospital, but be an attractive environment. The modern, top-class furnishings make patients and visitors feel relaxed and pampered. The artwork depicts the Cape’s fauna and flora, which adds freshness to the interior.
A modern feel has been created for Melomed Tokai with natural light used to a large extent. The wards at Melomed are nothing short of luxurious.
The private wards are in essence luxury suites, individually decorated with beautiful en-suite bathrooms; fully electronically controlled beds, flat screen LCD televisions, telephones, free Wi-Fi, and leather chairs.
The wards and hallways are spacious and uncluttered, replete with pause and waiting areas which provide comfort to patients and visitors alike.
The walls in the Paediatric Unit were hand painted by a Cape Town artist, and depicts images of friendly farm animals providing a cheerful atmosphere that is combined with professional service and loving care.
The Neonatal Unit has wingback chairs making it easy for mothers to breastfeed and we have comfortable leather recliner chairs in the Paediatric Unit to cater for parents/guardians.
Melomed Tokai has focussed on security and access control for extra safety and patient comfort.
