Attract more seniors to increase more community engagement.

Having Senior Activity Centers in every community is important because it helps connect older adults to vital community services that keep them healthy and independent.

According to the National Council on Aging, more than 60% of Senior Centers are designed to allow older adults to access multiple services in one place. They serve as a community focal point and are one of the most widely used services among older adults in America.

We know it’s important to have comfortable, affordable, and practical furniture for your Senior Center that also ships fast.

Sensible chairs for adult education classes

As we age, people face a potential decline in social interactions and decreased mental stimulation. A healthy brain needs physical exercise, cognitive exercise, and social engagement, and brain health significantly decreases the risk of dementia. One way to improve brain health is through senior education programs. Adult education can include anything from learning a new subject or a new skill or experiencing a new physical activity.

The Campus 4 Chair is a great chair for classrooms. Campus chairs are extremely durable and comfortable, making them suitable for frequent, extended use. The chairs stack 4 chairs high, which is perfect for dynamic classrooms where additional floor space may be needed. The seat is available with sculpted wood or an upholstered foam cushion.

Another option is the Custom Carlo Armchair. This is also a stacking chair that provides exceptional value and comfort.

Take a look at the Campus 4 Chair and the Carlo family.
