Bring the Theater Experience to Your Senior Living Community
Blog – July 18, 2022
Seniors enjoy going to the movies but many who live in senior living communities can’t go to the theater anymore, due to mobility issues. So senior living communities are bringing the movie going experience to the residents. It’s very convenient to go to the theater down the hall and be entertained with family and friends. Lounge-like theater seating is carefully selected, paired with easy-to-clean fabrics to create a comfortable experience for the residents complete with the popcorn. Kwalu Theater Lounge Chairs for Seniors are ideal for theater rooms, media rooms, and senior living lecture rooms.
Theaters in senior living
Theaters serve an important purpose in senior living, as they give residents a fun activity that they can experience in the comfort of their own community. It’s fun to watch a film or a live performance with a group of friends, on a date or alone. For seniors who are more active, they can also become part of the theater “staff” by acting in live shows, working the snack bar, or directing residents to their seats. Theaters in senior living should be outfitted with comfortable seating that has cup holders and attached trays.
