Purchase Practical Furniture Having practical furniture in a senior living community is a must. Senior citizens often have major mobility issues and furniture can either help or inhibit them. Assisted living communities should have furniture that can be used safely by seniors. For instance, medical recliners are a great option for senior living communities thanks to their multiple functions and customizable options. They allow seniors to easily get up and down, and they can use the arms of the chair to push themselves up or lower themselves down. They also allow seniors to put up their feet which can allow for better circulation which is an issue for many seniors. You can purchase medical recliners in vibrant patterns and colors that will jazz up a room or a living area.
Present a Home Setting
When shopping for senior living community furniture, follow one rule: If you wouldn’t put it in your own living room, don’t put it into your community. The furniture in an assisted living community should reflect a home-like setting. Moving to a senior living community is something seniors struggle with. They are often leaving the homes they have lived in for decades and admitting that they need assistance which is not easy. It is very important the furniture in your assisted living community is warm and inviting. You want your current seniors, and seniors searching for a community, to feel comfortable, welcomed and confident in their investment of time and money to your facility.
Stellar Dining Experience
Many senior living communities have full dining rooms where the seniors eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. When furnishing a dining room, you should be focused on providing high quality seating that will present well to both guests and residents. Your dining room furniture should be inviting, again, similar to what you’d have in your own dining room. Seniors should be eager to get up to go to the dining room and socialize. If the furniture in your dining room is cold, mismatched, or ragged, your dining room is not going to be appealing as a place to eat and engage with one another. Purchase dining room furniture that is durable and medical-grade so that it’s easy to clean, but that is also pleasing to the eye. When shopping for your assisted living community, keep these three tips in mind so that you can furnish it in the best way possible.
