What to look for in wood & faux wood chairs designed for Senior Living environments

There are few environments where seating comfort is more important than in senior living facilities. Chairs that are impractical, uncomfortable, or worn out will decrease seniors’ comfort and lower the perceived value of your property. In general, seniors spend more time sitting than other age groups, so low-quality chairs or seating with worn-out cushions and inadequate support can potentially contribute to backaches, shoulder aches, trips, falls, and an overall decreased quality of life.

Refreshing outdated furniture with stylish and functional senior living products can help improve the lives of the seniors at your property. Supportive seating can encourage better posture and decrease aches and pains, while sturdy armrests can promote safe, independent sitting and standing transitions. Attractive, well-kept seating can also help you attract more prospective residents and their families. In addition to increasing marketability, new furniture can enrich the everyday experience for your current residents and encourage them to sit in shared living areas and enjoy social activities.

Depending on your property, you might need different types of chairs for each space. For some areas, comfort is the most important factor. For other rooms, it may be more critical that chairs are easy to pull out from under a table or can be stacked for easy storage.
