Hospitality-inspired spaces like these give senior living communities something traditional layouts can’t—places where people naturally gather, cross paths, and spend time together without needing a reason.

Most furniture looks great on Day One. But after a year of cleaning, shifting, and constant use, the real story begins. Every chair reflects how you invest—and how that investment holds up over time. This is where ROI matters. With Kwalu, long-term performance isn’t a guess—it’s built in. Fewer replacements. Less maintenance. Lower lifetime costs. See how smarter choices today can deliver a stronger ROI tomorrow. Why Furniture ROI Deserves a Closer Look In senior living communities, furniture isn’t just décor—it’s part of the infrastructure. It shapes the daily experience for staff and residents, impacts infection control, and drives operational costs over time. But too often, decisions are made based on the purchase price alone. Over a 10-year span, the real ROI of furniture becomes clear: durability, maintenance, and replacement cycles all add up. Looking beyond the upfront cost reveals which choices are built to last—and which ones are destined for a sequel.

For senior living communities like yours, the impact of falls goes beyond numbers—it’s about protecting someone’s family member. The Alesso Bed’s floor-level design is a compassionate solution that actively reduces the risk of serious injury from falls. With a bed height of just 3. 9 inches, it minimizes impact, providing an extra layer of protection and peace of mind. Thoughtfully engineered with resident safety at its core, the Alesso Bed helps create an environment where well-being, comfort, and dignity are safeguarded every step of the way. Prevent Falls, Protect Lives, and Preserve Your Bottom Line In senior living communities, every resident's safety and well-being are at the heart of care. Unfortunately, bed falls can put that safety at risk while also creating unexpected financial strain from medical expenses, additional staffing, and legal costs. The Alesso Bed offers a compassionate solution with its ultra-low, floor-level design, thoughtfully crafted to reduce the risk of falls and related injuries. A 2023 study found that 43% of nursing home residents experience falls, meaning 43 out of 100 residents in a facility are at high risk.

It was a chance to create continuity across levels of care. Built as a new addition on an existing campus, the expansion includes 18 memory care units. While the building introduces new spaces and services, the design team focused on maintaining a connection to the original building. Project Challenges The addition of memory care at Discovery Senior Living Castle Hills brought a unique set of challenges that required both thoughtful planning and long-term, durable solutions. To create a seamless transition between an existing facility to a new memory care unit, maintaining continuity in design, tone, and resident experience. To design a residential, home-like environment that supports varying levels of care while preserving comfort, familiarity, and dignity. To accommodate mobility challenges and assistive devices within high-traffic spaces without compromising usability or aesthetics. To furnish a multi-level community with diverse space types, including dining, corridors, activity areas, and quiet rooms, while maintaining consistency throughout. To meet budget and timeline constraints without sacrificing long-term performance or overall design intent. Kwalu Solutions To support a seamless transition across levels of care, Kwalu provided furniture solutions that: Create a unified aesthetic throughout the existing facility and memory care unit. Withstand continuous daily use, including impact from wheelchairs, walkers, and frequent movement. Maintain a residential look and feel while meeting the durability and cleanability requirements of a senior living environment.

To create a residential, home-like environment within a skilled nursing facility serving veterans with complex medical needs. To balance durability and long-term performance requirements with a warm, welcoming aesthetic. To support a wide range of mobility and care needs while maintaining comfort, accessibility, and ease of use. To design spaces that allow for both social interaction and personal choice within a small-house living model.

The Hidden Costs of Senior Living Furniture They looked great on Day One. But then came the scratches. The wobbles. The stains that never really came out. Five years later—you’ve bought them twice. Between chipped finishes, loose joints, or peeling surfaces, you may end up replacing that “budget-friendly” dining chair multiple times over the next decade—at triple the cost. July 24, 2025 The Real Plot Twist? The Hidden Costs of Senior Living Furniture They looked great on Day One. But then came the scratches. The wobbles. The stains that never really came out. Five years later—you’ve bought them twice. In senior living, furniture isn’t just décor. It’s infrastructure. And when it breaks down, so does the resident experience. These are the five most common mistakes operators make when buying senior living furniture—and how to avoid writing your own sequel called "The Replacement Order. " Mistake #1: Judging by Price Tag, Not Performance At first glance, residential-grade furniture or budget options may seem like a smart way to save. But in a 24/7 environment like assisted living or memory care, these products often fail in just 1–2 years. Between chipped finishes, loose joints, or peeling surfaces, you may end up replacing that “budget-friendly” dining chair multiple times over the next decade—at triple the cost. What to do instead:Choose commercial-grade furniture specifically engineered for senior living environments. Kwalu’s Protea™ material is built to perform—non-porous, chip- and crack-resistant, and designed to withstand daily wear without the need for refinishing. And with a 10-year performance warranty, you can count on lasting value—not recurring replacements. Mistake #2: Underestimating the Villain—Moisture and Disinfectants Furniture is one of the most touched—and least considered—factors in infection control.

Designed by Meyer, the vision for this community was a hospitality-driven aesthetic with the comforts of home, ensuring that every space is as inviting as it is functional. Inspired by the surrounding coastal landscape, the interiors reflect a nautical influence, incorporating contrasting materials, a variety of textures and finishes, and a thoughtful color palette that encourages engagement and connection. A Design Philosophy Rooted in Comfort and Choice  “A fundamental philosophy of this project was to design a vibrant community that embraced the evolving needs of its residents, allowing them to maintain independence while ensuring that their environment could adapt to them over time,” said Meyer Principal Shannon Remaley, NCIDQ, EDAC, IIDA, WELL AP, LEED Green Associate. The designers sought to provide an atmosphere that offered both elegance and practicality, ensuring that every element contributed to a sense of ease and well-being. The goal was for residents to feel comfortable whether they are enjoying a quiet moment in their apartment, sharing a meal with friends, or participating in community events.

Spaces are being thoughtfully adapted to support holistic wellness, social connection, and a greater sense of comfort—creating environments that truly support every moment.   The future of senior living reflects a deeper understanding of how design impacts daily life. From multi-functional common areas to wellness-focused amenities, the trends shaping senior living go beyond aesthetics—they influence how residents engage, connect, and thrive. Here's a look at the key trends defining the future of senior living. Trend #1: Holistic Wellness is Reshaping Senior Living  When designing senior living spaces, consider ways to support holistic wellness by incorporating fitness studios, therapy gardens, and meditation rooms to foster physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Thoughtful planning takes every detail into account—from layout to lighting to material choices—to create environments that feel both restorative and functional.   To foster a sense of calm and connection, design elements such as soft, natural lighting, biophilic accents, and flexible seating arrangements can make a significant impact. Comfortable, supportive furniture—like the Arezzo Lounge—encourages relaxation and engagement, whether in a quiet corner for reflection or a group setting for social interaction. Non-institutional color palettes, acoustic considerations, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions further enhance these spaces, making them more inviting and connected to nature.   By thoughtfully layering elements that promote movement, social engagement, and relaxation, senior living communities can create environments that... --- - Published: 2025-02-03 - Modified: 2025-10-03 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/across-the-campus-uniting-the-generations-the-spires-at-berry-college-turns-to-faulkner-design-group-kwalu-to-achieve-its-mission/ - Categories: Case Study The Spires has succeeded in creating a welcoming, non-institutional environment that feels more like an activity center than a traditional senior living community. Residents and students from Berry College find the space comfortable and easy to navigate. Kwalu’s Altavilla Dining Chairs are focal gathering points. “We love the comfortable furniture and find people sitting all the time in the lobby; they might have their feet propped up on a table and are just chilling out. We’re not fancy at The Spires. People really feel like it’s home, because it is. ” The primary objective for The Spires at Berry College was to deeply integrate the senior living community with the adjacent Berry College campus in Rome, Georgia. Offering a range of senior living options: independent, assisted, memory care, and skilled nursing and rehabilitation, The Spires site is just a third of a mile from the college, connecting it via walking trails and a road, providing access for both pedestrians and cars. Seeking common spaces to facilitate intergenerational interactions between students and residents, The Spires contracted with senior living experts, Faulkner Design Group, Dallas, Texas, to design common spaces to facilitate intergenerational interactions between students, while also designing the dining areas and residences.   The Spires' design was heavily influenced by the surrounding Berry College campus, including the modern architecture of the Ford Building and natural elements like the nearby Eagle Lake and rock quarry. The Faulkner Design team aimed to capture a "modern mountain lodge" feel that would integrate seamlessly... --- - Published: 2025-01-22 - Modified: 2025-01-22 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/floor-level-beds-a-proven-solution-for-fall-prevention/ - Categories: White Paper Fall-related injuries cost U. S. healthcare providers over $50 billion each year, and for long-term care providers, the associated legal and operational challenges compound the issue. Overview Falls are a leading concern in long-term care, with nearly 50% of nursing home residents experiencing at least one fall annually. 10% of residents who fall will suffer serious injury, including 65,000 hip fractures each year. These incidents not only threaten resident safety and well-being but also place a significant financial and emotional burden on care facilities and staff. Fall-related injuries cost U. S. healthcare providers over $50 billion each year, and for long-term care providers, the associated legal and operational challenges compound the issue. One effective approach to addressing this ongoing challenge is the adoption of floor-level beds. Unlike standard low beds, which lower to a minimum height of 7 to 10 inches, floor-level beds lower to just 3. 9 inches, offering a game changing reduction in fall risk. By minimizing the distance to the ground, these beds significantly enhance resident safety while supporting caregivers in providing compassionate, efficient care. This white paper explores the role of floor-level beds in advancing fall prevention efforts, with a focus on the Alesso Bed by Kwalu—a thoughtfully designed solution that prioritizes resident safety and operational efficiency. The Financial and Operational Impact of Falls, the True Cost of Injuries Falls in long-term care facilities impose a substantial financial burden on care providers.

Often, multiple pieces of casegoods simply won’t fit. The solution is simple – Kwalu’s range of modular furniture for senior living communities and assisted living communities. Modular furniture in resident rooms It is possible to combine any number of modular furniture items, including desks, benches, wardrobes, shelving, dressers and more to create the storage spaces to meet design tastes, allowable space and the specific needs of residents.

In these spaces, one of the ways ‘wellness’ is delivered is through the furniture design.  The easy to clean and maintain design, the high impact resilience of the proprietary material, and the simple elegance of each style define Kwalu’s timeless appeal. A clean environment is enticing to seniors and their guests. It is the foundation of a healthy community. Bringing the outdoor inside We instinctively connect to nature. Access to nature in senior living can improve mental and physical health. Getting seniors outside is the best way to provide the benefits of the outdoors to seniors, the fresh air, the sunlight and delightful smell of the flowers and trees. But when going outdoors is not an option, consider ways to bring the color, the light, all the sights and sounds of the outdoors to the inside. Add the Kwalu award-winning finish, found on the Gela dining chair, and the cleanability will also have a positive effect on mood, well-being, and healing.

In the Fall, even active seniors turn their attention to quieter and cozier indoor pursuits, and that requires the right seating. A recliner is the definition of relaxation. The ideal design of recliners for seniors will combine a great sit with an equally great recline. Here are a few from Kwalu for your consideration. Capestrano Recliner Multiple recline positions make the Capestrano a versatile and flexible senior living seating option. Seniors with a range of mobility will appreciate that the recline mechanism is activated by a manual push-back on the arms. With its three recline positions seniors are guaranteed that at least one will be the right one for them even after being seated for a while.   Carrara Sleepover Recliner More than a comfortable seat, recliners in senior living communities deliver health benefits to the users. They promote good posture, can improve blood circulation, and, for some, provide relief for aching joints. The Carrara Sleepover Recliner offers choices for the user. Take it motorized or not, with upholstered arms or formed and fitted arm rests, and the attached head rest can be utilized or flipped out of the way when not needed.   Nocera Recliner Take a poll of the seniors in your community and they will tell you there is no better place to relax than a cozy and cushioned recliner.  Kwalu’s Nocera is that recliner.

Let that sink in. Not only will 100 million people be living with dementia, but there will also be those in place, typically in memory care units in senior living communities, tasked with caring for the residents and their loved ones. First and foremost, memory care spaces should be safe spaces, as uncluttered as possible, with good lighting to diminish glare, and no tripping hazards. Seating and tables should be used that are made with memory care residents in mind. Ergonomic seating with warm, wood-like, and pick-proof finishes. Common areas that are destinations of warmth and comfort Communities that incorporate common areas with skylights and indoor gardens are ideal. This can bring the outdoors inside with way-finding cues put in place for residents living with dementia, creating a safe and comfortable environment.

Designers should consider lounge collections that meet the needs of the users. Seating that is easily cleaned and maintained is a top priority.

Kwalu provides comfortable and luxurious lounge collections guaranteed to last for a decade. Here are the top 5. 1.  Barletta Lounge Collection Senior Living common areas are relaxed places where seniors gather to chat, read books, plan outings, have meetings, or just simply relax.

This potentially deadly fungus has become a major concern in healthcare facilities around the world. It can spread rapidly from person to person and can survive on surfaces for weeks, making it challenging to control its spread. Prevention via truly cleanable surfaces is powerful and potentially lifesaving.   How owners/operators can fight back Nursing home residents are particularly vulnerable to C. auris infections due to their underlying medical conditions, weakened immune systems, and frequent exposure to healthcare facilities. Nursing homes have become a major source of outbreaks, with multiple facilities reporting cases of the fungus in recent months. To fight this emerging threat, first make sure surfaces are dependable when it comes to disinfecting and daily cleaning. Why choose Kwalu Kwalu furniture is made from a unique material that has been clinically proven to inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on its surfaces. This material is and has been shown to be effective against a wide range of pathogens, including C. auris. By using Kwalu furniture in healthcare facilities, the growth and transmission of the fungus can be disrupted. Additionally, Kwalu furniture is easy to clean and disinfect, which is essential in preventing the spread of C. auris.

The arms and legs of both chairs are made of easily cleaned and maintained Kwalu Classic material. The dining bench will revisit and create memories Benches are for more places than the park. Take the senior living dining room for example. High back benches like Kwalu’s Antillo bench is as comfortable as it is versatile. This stately bench comes in four widths. The base is a real eye-catcher with its crisscrossed underframe.

Although some may have the option of enjoying the company of their loved ones, many stay in their rooms and miss out on some much-needed bonding time. Furniture in common areas for gathering and dining can encourage activities and establish new traditions within the community. Furniture that sparks creativity in senior living The end of the year is a great time for seniors to start creative arts and crafts projects like designing holiday cards, writing letters and thank you cards. Kwalu’s wide selection of Activity Tables and Community Tables are just right for residents and care givers to collaborate on the many and varied projects. Seating that encourages fun and games in senior living There are many types of comfortable seating options that can help senior living communities plan activities for their residents during the holidays.

We take for granted that in addition to matching the other casegood furniture pieces and the style of your room, they provide necessary storage and display space. In a senior living resident room, they provide comfort and security on a different level. Senior living elevated bedside storage Your mom or dad has moved to a senior living community. They’ve had to downsize many of their belongings from the house or apartment they lived in to have just what they need in their room in the new community where they now reside. Bedsides, like those in Kwalu’s Dorchester collection, offer easy access shelves behind a door or door and drawer options. The Dorchester bedsides are elevated, giving seniors an eye-level point of view while in bed. How comforting to see a family picture or other precious memento with ease. Senior living bedside as part of an elegant collection When your parents move to an independent or assisted living community, they are expecting a less stressful level of living, not a lower level of style. Their private space, their resident room, should reflect the aesthetics as well as the functionality they have been accustomed to. Kwalu’s Camelot collection is elegant and modern.

Where would we be without them? Probably eating food and doing work all on a rock, in the grass, on the floor or our lumpy laps. While all those table alternatives are fine for the short term, everyone understands the necessity and convenience of the table. In senior living communities, tables are never taken for granted because here there are weaker legs, backs, and arms for which the table alternatives just don’t work. Benefits of Senior Living community tables Community tables in senior living offer a space where residents can be social and connect with their friends for a meal or an activity. Because these tables literally bring more people to the table, cleanability is very important. When the event calls for gathering with family, friends, or staff Kwalu’s Montallegro and Harvest tables are the solution. Both tables seat up to 8 people and have the option to accommodate wheelchairs. Best for meeting and planning Kwalu’s Montellegro table is ideal for meetings and staff planning sessions because of the legs and table base. The legs cross to create an ‘X’ at each end of the table.

Although research for dementia-related treatments and care have improved in recent years, many families are still hesitant to place their loved ones in Memory Care communities. There can often be a lack of communication between families and facility staff, and this can result in feelings of uncertainty when it comes to care. Kwalu’s Memory Care furniture is designed to assist in the care of those suffering the effects of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Designing Memory Care spaces for assisted living Memory Care Units have unique requirements for furniture. Ideally, they are environments created to encompass the mind, body, and spirit in well-defined, easily understood, safe and nurturing spaces. In this environment, Kwalu furniture sets the standard with seating, tables, and casegoods that provide a sense of home and familiarity without sacrificing a sense of style and safety. All Kwalu casegoods for Memory Care, like the Atlanta II Wardrobe, feature hidden door latches and passive locks which allow caregivers exclusive access.

Tables in senior living should be built for stability so they don’t tip over if a senior needs to steady themselves.

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.

Chairs that are normally used one way in one area are getting new life as they take on multi-purpose functions. Theater seating is not just for the theater anymore in senior living. Stylish and functional, Kwalu’s theater chairs are primarily thought of today as tablet chairs since that’s how so many are being used. These chairs are well suited for many senior living environments like resident rooms, media rooms, game rooms, and other common areas, even the staff lounge. All are available with legs or optional front casters. A tablet chair with choices The most comfortable and flexible of the Kwalu theater chairs is the Calabria Collection. This collection combines a reclining action, where the resident can rest, and an activity model with an ottoman. The Motorized Calabria Theater chair only reclines slightly to support the user’s neck and back and the footrest can be raised, all with the touch of a button.

There are many products on the market that tout added vitamins and supplements designed to reverse the aging process in the human face and joints. Well-designed furniture does not make the claim of being able to reverse aging, but it can and should be designed with the end user in mind. Ultimately seniors should feel relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated while using furniture designed specifically for them. Furniture that encourages socialization Research shows seniors are at least 20 percent more likely to live longer more productive lives when they socialize and connect face-to-face. They want to linger longer with friends and family over a meal or in front of the fireplace in a common area. When the seating is comfortable, the common area becomes a destination for socialization. Kwalu furniture encourages socialization with its luxurious look, incredibly easy to clean finishes and the decade long like-new guarantee. Senior-friendly furniture by Kwalu is resistant to scuffmarks, scratches and daily bumps of walkers and wheelchairs. Furniture that supports an active lifestyle Seniors are living longer more active lives.

That’s because those old comforts can hinder the physical capabilities of the aging body. Think about it. Steps become a challenge for older limbs. In the bathroom, toilets that are too low make it tough for seniors to sit or stand without help. And if a senior has a back issue, they will avoid, at all costs, the big cushiony, comfy couch they used to love to sink into in their 40s and 50s. Creating the right environment using resident centered and comfortable senior living furniture can enhance the quality of a senior’s life. Style + Safety = Happy Seniors Style and safety play a big part in the planning of any senior community. Strategic design should cover all areas of senior living communities. Ranch style single floorplans. Senior living furniture, especially chairs that consider the height of the seat and arms to aid with ingress and egress. Non-slip flooring to minimize falls. Lighting designed specifically for diminishing eyesight. These strategic design features should be part of the plan to keep residents independent longer and happy.

Add aging and reduced activity, and it is clear, the need for bariatric seating has increased and is a necessity in senior living common areas, resident rooms and dining spaces. Kwalu has a wide selection of bariatric seating, easily integrated into any senior living environment. Bariatric in senior living common areas The most important feature in bariatric seating in common areas of senior living communities is the safety of the seating option. The seat should be designed and built to support as much as 500 pounds. Bariatric seating should also blend in with standard seating in the space. Kwalu’s Terrasini Bariatric has these features and more. The width of the seat and back is wider and the Terrasini is available in two back heights. Bariatric seating in senior living dining Bariatric seating should be placed all around the dining room, giving residents a choice of where they want to sit. Additional steel-reinforcement in the joints provide solid support for the bariatric resident. Bariatric seating should be similar in design, color and upholstery to compliment other furnishings in the room and not stand out. Kwalu’s Trava Bariatric Dining chair is designed with generous proportions. Its frame is made of Kwalu’s proprietary finish, so it is extremely easy... --- - Published: 2022-01-12 - Modified: 2024-10-08 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/trends-in-senior-living-design-for-the-new-year/ - Categories: Blog Blog - January 12, 2022 The new year has been welcomed with all the energy and hope we can muster, despite daily reports of increased COVID cases worldwide. Senior living communities, armed with vaccinated and boosted residents and vaccine mandates for staff, are determined to change the narrative. They have already begun to utilize design elements and best practices that deliver safety, assurance, and comfort to residents and their families. The future is bright for senior living and Kwalu is Furnishing the Future®. Here are three furniture design trends for the new year in senior living. Clean and cleanable design It can not be stated enough, clean furniture in senior living is the foundation of a wellness environment. In dining and common areas, where seniors gather and socialize, the furniture must be easily and deeply cleaned. More attention is now being paid to maintaining pristine and clean senior living communities. The practice of cleaning and disinfecting furniture in communities where the residents are at increased risk for severe illness from viruses, cold and flu is at a higher level now. Kwalu’s product surfaces can be cleaned thoroughly with soap and water and disinfected with products that contain alcohol or bleach, which ensures safety, durability, and elegance. Biophilic design To help residents have and maintain a general sense of well-being, senior living communities are making a concerted effort to add biophilic elements into their environments. When residents see and experience nature through plants and art, see a water view, hear a... --- - Published: 2021-12-13 - Modified: 2024-10-17 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/the-best-features-in-senior-living-furniture/ - Categories: Blog Blog - December 13, 2021 It is not rocket science. The best furniture features for senior living are the following: consistent good looks and durability, cleanable, and comfortable. These are the top three features the residents and their guests appreciate most. Furniture surfaces send messages to residents, patients, and guests about the cleanliness of the surroundings. In many environments, furniture is in contact with items and activities that leave it dinged and otherwise compromised. Consistently maintains its durability and good looks Seniors and their guests are looking for the same properties in furniture they always have – durability, cleanability and high style. The furniture of the early 21st century is reminiscent of the look made popular in the middle of the last century. Senior-friendly furniture is resistant to the scuffmarks, scratches and daily bumps of walkers and wheelchairs. Preferred, comfortable seating for seniors should be easy to clean, maintain, and look like new, year after year. For senior living furniture, the cleaner the better There is no dispute that clean surfaces are the most desired surfaces in any location, but how do surfaces function when faced with constant, and at times, harsh chemical cleanings? Wood surfaces are lovely but wood does not hold up well when cleaned day after day. It puckers and splits, creating crevices and breeding grounds for germs. Metal is susceptible to corrosion. If compromised, it rusts. Unlike these finishes, the non-porous nature of Kwalu’s innovative surfaces and finishes also means it stands up to harsh daily... --- - Published: 2021-11-15 - Modified: 2024-10-17 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/comfortable-furnishings-for-next-level-care-rehab-respite-and-hospice/ - Categories: Blog Blog - November 15, 2021 Seniors often begin their retirement in independent or assisted living communities. But there are times when they may need a higher level of care. A fall may require a stint in rehab. Critical care needs can lead to a stay in hospice. Seniors may need more socialization time away from their caregivers and caregivers may need some down time from their constant duties. Adult day cares are ideal for short term respite care. In all these locations, it is important to create environments that provide comfort, security, and care. Rehab center furnishings A rehabilitation center for seniors provides care with an eye toward reducing pain from an injury or improving mobility and function. When seniors go into rehab the primary caregivers receive a period of respite as their loved one moves to a place better equipped to handle their level of care. In addition to the daily physical, occupational and speech therapies, the seniors should be able to retire to a room that’s as comfortable as their bedroom at home. If possible, the room should have lovely views. Furniture here should aid in rehabilitation. Bedsides and custom cabinetry and that provide easy access to personal belongings and recliners that are comfortable and easy to operate. Furnishing Adult Day care for Respite care Respite care provides short-term relief for primary caregivers and includes a few hours in an adult daycare or care for several days or weeks in a senior living community. While the caregiver may... --- - Published: 2021-10-25 - Modified: 2024-10-17 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/top-benches-designed-for-senior-living/ - Categories: Blog Blog - October 25, 2021 Seniors and their guests are looking for the same properties in furniture they always have – durability, cleanability and high style. Senior-friendly furniture is resistant to the scuffmarks, scratches and daily bumps of walkers and wheelchairs. Preferred, comfortable seating for seniors should be easy to clean, maintain, and look like new, year after year. Today’s designs have added stylish chairs, recliners, stools, and benches to give seniors a wide variety of seating options. The bench in senior living is perhaps the most versatile seating option of all. 1. The transitional Antillo Bench Many benches come with or without backs. The Antillo Bench by Kwalu offers a high back that wings to achieve a bit of privacy. This stately bench comes in four widths and is best identified by the crisscrossed underframe. The collection includes a dining option. The Antillo without a back has upholstered arms and may also have bolster pillows, attached but easily removed for cleaning. 2. The versatility of the Falmenta Bench This is a luxurious bench that would look good in someone’s home, which is why it is a great choice for senior living. Another reason is the Falmenta by Kwalu gives choices that work for whatever space it is assigned, providing fit for the space and the people using it. This bench can be styled with buttons or stitching detail on the back and can be outfitted with attached removable bolster pillows. Two back heights and several arm heights are available.... --- - Published: 2021-09-25 - Modified: 2024-10-17 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/top-5-senior-living-lounge-chairs/ - Categories: Blog Blog - September 25, 2021 Senior living residents expect comfortable surroundings in their resident rooms, in their dining rooms and especially in their common areas. Common areas are where the residents socialize and relax with family and friends. Comfortable, luxurious, durable, and high functioning should define the furniture used in this space. With Kwalu’s top five lounge chairs, it certainly can. 1. Ferrara Lounge This lounge seating option is both social and private. The high back creates a cozy seat for an intimate gathering. The Ferrara high back with the wings is also a semi-private seat for one who is reading or just resting. It is a maintenance dream with a removable seat deck. 2. Rivara Lounge The Rivara gives a double helping of back comfort with a wedged back creating a gentle angle which is covered with a back cushion. The depth of the seat on the Rivara and the other lounge chairs is designed to diminish stress on the legs and supports user independent ingress and egress. Add glamour to the chair arms with optional nail head trim. The Rivara collection also includes a Love Seat and Sofa. 3. Valmorena Lounge A gently curved back is the feature of the Valmorena that says welcome. The back and arms create a type of cocoon for the user. And the seat cushion is plush and comfortable. This lounge chair has a removable seat deck for easy maintenance. 4. Bellamonte Lounge A lounge chair with a high back is preferred seating... --- - Published: 2021-07-19 - Modified: 2025-10-17 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/top-three-best-senior-living-bar-and-counter-stools/ - Categories: Blog Blog - July 19, 2021 The quality of food and the dining environment in senior living rank high on the resident satisfaction lists. Casual dining has gained in importance as a top dining trend in senior living. It is as much about the setting as it is about the food. Cafes, coffee bars and ‘happy hour’ lounges allow residents to enjoy the social aspect of casual dining. This environment includes small table settings for 2 and counters that put the residents near the food and drink preparation. The seating option that defines casual dining is the stool. Kwalu has a wide variety of stools to suit any casual setting. 1. Modern and flexible stools Senior living communities are making use of convertible dining locations that function from morning till night. This is a space that may serve as a coffee bar where residents can get a cup a coffee or tea, juice and a pastry in the morning. That same space will turn into a grab and go snack space throughout the day. In the evening, the area can become a pub, where residents can enjoy a drink and conversation with friends.  The Sciara stools by Kwalu are modern and casual. The curved back of this seating collection is inspired by mid-century modern design. With its optional back handle to assist in moving the chair, Sciara can be easily used in this space from sunup to sundown. 2. Classic design and easily cleaned stools Residents appreciate making their own dining choices.... --- - Published: 2021-06-16 - Modified: 2025-10-21 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/benefits-of-durable-furniture-in-senior-living/ - Categories: Blog Blog - June 16, 2021 As the senior living industry considers and makes changes based on the experiences of last year, it is important to adapt to the pandemic-based modifications that will remain in place. The very social spaces and activities that attracted seniors in the first place, like game rooms, libraries and dining rooms are still very important to senior living communities. Elegant lounge, dining and outdoor senior living furniture is desired, durable senior living furniture is required. Kwalu offers both. Durable furniture is dependable When a potential resident or guest of a potential resident walks through the door of a senior living community, worn and tired looking furniture will send a message. That message may cause visitors to question the level of cleanliness and care within the community. While communities raised their level of cleaning to protect against infection last year, those multiple cleanings with alcohol and bleach left wood furniture looking much older than it is. Kwalu’s furniture for assisted living features a proprietary finish, which, unlike wood, is designed to stand up to intense and frequent cleaning as well as the constant knocks and bumps of canes and wheelchairs and look like new for a decade. Durable furniture is easily cleaned now and, in the future A key lesson learned from 2020 is that there is no such thing as too much cleaning. Kwalu’s multiple award-winning furniture surfaces lead the way by providing better cleanability and durability. Easy to clean and maintain, Kwalu’s beautifully designed furniture... --- - Published: 2021-05-20 - Modified: 2025-10-21 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/mask-free-is-not-germ-free/ - Categories: Blog Blog - May 20, 2021 Avoiding isolation is one of the main reasons why seniors relocate to senior living communities but for the past year a pandemic has forced residents to be isolated from family and friends. Senior living communities are beginning to reopen and reunite families, but they are vigilant about researching ways to continue to keep their residents and staff safe and immune systems robust. They do not want a repeat of last year. Outdoor spaces take the top spot for mask free connectivity While there is no national requirement for residents in senior living to wear masks it is recommended for when seniors leave their location as an added precaution. Many senior living communities are taking advantage of the warmer weather and making the most of their outdoor areas, creating multiple conversation spaces for residents to feel to visit and reconnect. Outdoor furniture that is 100 percent bleach cleanable and doesn’t nick are mar when bumped with a walker, cane or wheelchair is preferred by residents and staff. Refreshed, well-spaced, and comfortable common areas Senior living communities are being careful about spacing in common areas. Many residents have received the COVID vaccine but there are other transmittable ailments of concern like colds and flu and COVID variants. Furniture with easily cleaned frames and fabrics are the go-to selections. Solid surface occasional and dining/activity tabletops in senior living common areas make these spaces more comfortable places to meet.

While there are several vaccines available to protect against COVID-19, there are threats on the horizon that have minimal treatment, no cure, and no vaccine. Cleaning and cleanability are the keys to the future in these communities. Electrostatic spray cleaning is proving an effective tool in maintaining clean, safe spaces in senior living. Plan for what’s next Senior living communities understand the importance of cleaning and disinfecting when it comes to the current pandemic and it’s variants, the various flu strains and emerging threats like the C. diff bacteria and C. auris fungus. Proper lighting to aid in cleaning as well as upgraded air filtration systems are being installed in senior living communities nationwide. Kwalu furniture is designed for senior living’s future with furniture surfaces that are non-porous and smooth making them easy to maintain, repair and clean. Kwalu senior living furniture is made for electrostatic cleaning using undiluted bleach. Kwalu furniture is ideal for current and future senior living environments.

Kwalu has comfortable and flexible senior living furniture for socially distant reunion environments.

The residents who have been virtually isolated from family and friends are hopeful that with access to vaccines, they will be able to join family for meals and generally become more social. They are also more aware of ways to stay healthier diets and stronger longer. Reaching those goals is linked to better diets and active behaviors. Health food tips that give a shot in the arm to the immune system Raise a glass of orange juice to foods and juices filled with Vitamin C. This essential nutrient, long touted by your mother as a natural cold remedy, has many benefits. Seniors can find Vitamin C in grapefruit, oranges and lemons. Spinach and brussels sprouts are foods rich in C vitamin as well. There is an increased demand for wellness-based nutrition. Senior living communities focused on high nutrition are serving more options in a variety of locales on their campuses, fresh over canned and locally sourced foods. Staying active for the body and the mind of seniors Seniors need a health-conscientious plan of attack and senior living communities know that begins with activity. Exercise routines in 10-minute segments two or more times a day is the amount of time recommended by the CDC for older adults to maintain strength, balance and flexibility. The most popular activity is walking, and communities have incorporated trails with rest stop... --- - Published: 2021-01-04 - Modified: 2024-10-18 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/trends-in-senior-living-design-for-a-brighter-new-year-and-beyond/ - Categories: Blog Blog - January 4, 2021 A new year is always filled with hope for a brighter day. Expectations are very high for 2021 following the troublesome and challenging 2020. The projected trends for this year are all focused on wellbeing in senior living, one of the hardest hit locales in the pandemic. COVID-19 accelerated a fresh focus on wellbeing-based design, a trend that was inevitable sooner or later. Renovate to repurpose existing rooms for residents and their families. And keep in mind, the most important features for senior living 2021 design are cleanability and durability of the furniture in those spaces. 1. Surfaces for now and beyond COVID The new more virulent variant of the coronavirus spreads quicker. Also spreading, is the urgent need for better surfaces throughout senior living communities. As senior living furniture is touched frequently, surfaces that maintain their good looks while being cleaned hourly are in high demand. Tables and chairs that are made of a non-porous material that can more than handle constant cleaning and look like new. This is a trend that is going to be the standard as senior living communities continue to provide safer environments for their residents. 2. Imagine a common space as a social and technology hub Senior living communities are installing new filtration systems throughout that provide consistent outdoor air circulation instead of recycled air. Designated social pods are emerging to facilitate distancing while residents remain social.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says many who live in senior living communities are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. As home to some of the hardest hit in this pandemic, senior living is taking a hard look at every detail of their communities to find a way to cope with COVID at a high level. That includes the furniture and the cleaning practices they use. Following the rules to keep the positivity numbers down Communities are accepting new residents again and some are allowing in-person family visits under certain restrictions, including at least a month of no reports of new cases. Communities are taking steps to minimize the chance of further transmission of the virus. Increased testing is in place for resident and visitors are required to wear masks. Visits are by appointment only and social distancing guidelines are being followed. Following the recommended guidelines will help keep COVID positivity numbers in check. The right kind of furniture supports a safer community Senior living communities are designing and creating environments featuring smaller, flexible seating groups.

It was attacking seniors with compromised immune systems, especially those with underlying conditions; the most vulnerable. Communities raced to contain outbreaks and closed their doors to all visitors. As we approach the Fall, senior living is more determined than ever to regain the confidence of the communities they serve and reclaim their places of comfort and support for residents and staff. A new smaller footprint for the future – Micro Communities In addition to Independent, assisted and memory care, you may hear about a relatively new model for senior living called the micro community. This is a community that consists of a members-only group of seniors. It functions with a small staff and a few carefully sourced volunteers. Considering the potential for emerging threats, this is a resident-centered concept that can bode well for a safer future in senior living. Senior living has always been ready for a transition, switching seamlessly from the post-war institutional design of the early days of care and comfort to the more modern designs we see today. Dining Preferences are the future of senior living Many operators are adhering to social guidelines, and re-organizing space in large dining rooms to accommodate fewer people and increase the meal service seating times.

Senior living designers are creating spaces that support social distancing while maintaining the connection to friends and family. At the foundation of this balancing act in senior living design is an awareness of the needs of the seniors in every setting and the types of furniture brought into the communities. Social distancing design in common areas It is easy to just remain in ones’ apartment or room. It is far more challenging to provide areas that follow social distancing guidelines and accommodate residents comfortably, especially in common areas. Seating and tables must be flexible in the space. Arranged in socially distanced groups and easily moved to create additional groupings. This flexibility keeps these common areas interesting for people who have limited places to go. Benches in the hallways encourage seniors to seek a new destination outside of their rooms. Social distancing design in dining Grand dining rooms filled to capacity with elaborate table settings, fancy food offerings, and a hundred guests have, over the last few years, added more casual dining settings and healthier food options. Designers are now making sure social distancing is an integral part of the growing trend.

And while cities and states begin to reopen, the nation’s seniors continue to be at greatest risk for the disease. Family and friends are still not allowed to visit senior living communities. It is safer for the residents and staff but being inside for months adds another level of stress. Taking residents outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air will calm the stress and make them smile. Outdoor space has many definitions Seniors retain their love of the outdoors and senior living designers are creating outdoor spaces for seniors that cater to that desire for fresh air. In addition to beautifully landscaped dog walks for furry friends, senior living communities are investing in covered outdoor dining venues, mini putting greens and outdoor fireplaces. Outdoor spaces allow activity; outdoor furniture can be positioned to safely support social distancing. Outside Senior Living furniture still requires cleaning Surfaces in senior living communities are touched often. The arms of chairs as seniors steady themselves to sit and stand and tabletops are where seniors conduct several activities such as playing cards, dominoes and eating meals. Solid surfaces are the absolute best surfaces in senior living because of their cleanability. Wood surfaces are susceptible to scratches and metal surfaces are prone to rust.

That seems to be the case for many viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. Those who are the frailest among us are the most vulnerable. As the nation slowly reopens, senior living communities remain closed to the outside, which means family and friends cannot visit. Now, more than ever seniors have to be calmed and comforted by their surroundings. Furniture that comforts Senior living spaces are changing. With social distancing in place, communities are planning furniture placement carefully. Consider comfortable wingback lounge chairs in common areas situated so that the user has a view or can engage in conversation at a safe distance. Love Seats allow spouses to sit with each other in these areas comfortably. Senior-friendly furniture If furniture is comfortable, it becomes a destination. Do you remember that chair in the living room that was dad’s ‘special chair’? Seniors love familiarity and do not want to be stressed about their seating options in senior living. They are particular about what the seating should look and feel like. They want the options to be the best selections possible.

There have been virulent strains of plague, smallpox, yellow fever and multiple Flu epidemics, SARS and COVID-19. After we win the fight against this pandemic, it is important to note, there will be more. Are we ready? Our level of preparedness will dictate how quickly an infectious disease will spread. A high level of preparedness could keep potential pandemics from gaining a foothold. As pandemics start to become increasingly more frequent, it is important that the immunocompromised are protected. A pandemic is challenging for all, and for senior living residents suffering from dementia diseases and those who care for them, the situation becomes potentially more difficult. Dementia does not increase the risk of COVID-19 however, the advanced age of most with dementia and the behaviors that accompany dementia diseases may. Consider that those suffering dementia diseases may very likely forget what they need to know in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as frequent hand washing and social distancing. It is extremely important to pay special attention to seniors in long-term care and the surfaces they encounter multiple times every day. Furniture surfaces in senior living should be easily cleaned and disinfected, Kwalu surfaces are. Cleaning is the beginning of care Monitoring is at an all-time high at senior living communities.

Those with an underlying health condition are extremely vulnerable. Grocery stores are setting special early hours for seniors so they are the first to enter and the only group in the store during the special time. Senior living communities are closing their doors to the visitors of those who live there. Staff and medical professionals are the only people allowed to enter in an effort to keep the seniors safe. That is because this disease spreads person-to-person, person-to-surface-to-person and by people who are asymptomatic. Now more than ever is the time to keep surfaces in senior living spotless, deep clean and disinfected. Clean saves lives The CDC says, while this is a relatively new disease and we are still learning how it spreads, COVID-19 can survive for hours and days on surfaces. Surfaces in senior living are touched a lot. Senior living communities are revisiting their infection prevention and control protocols now. Regular contact with surfaces in these communities is a risk factor for acquiring and spreading pathogens and viruses. Cleaning is a key factor in stopping the spread. These surfaces, primarily, should withstand rigorous cleaning many times a day as potentially weakened immune systems in senior living communities may interact with solid surfaces daily.

To begin with, seniors are living longer than they did even a decade ago. The level of care increases and lasts for a longer time as seniors experience greater and greater acuity. The level of design will keep up with the demand for furniture that can take a beating and maintain its beautiful, like-new look. It is especially important to ensure your senior living community is furnished appropriately and on-trend. How you furnish your senior living community is a direct reflection of how your assisted living residents will feel. We have found three major senior living design trends for 2020 that willmake your residents feel right at home. Mid Century modern gives way to Art Deco Both senior living design styles remain modern but the change from mid-century to art deco is contemporary style that incorporates what is popular. By definition, this style is sleek, non-traditional, finely crafted, decorative and elegant. Senior living furniture continues to turn heads with this unexpected yet on trend design that integrates graphic artwork and color, some of them bold, to warm up spaces in the new decade. The Sciara Cafe chair is inspired by Mid-Century design and features a curvaceous back that creates a cascading effect on the arms. The chair is resistant to debris build up due to the concealed clean-out, and it is an all-around standout in any environment.

Our lives after high school or college become extremely busy with very little time for play. When we finally do take a break, we spend a lot of it in front of a screen. Play is fun and according to a number of studies, play is good for you. As we age, play should become more a part of our lives. It raises energy levels and boosts our mental and emotional state. Play can keep seniors feeling young and even extend life. Play is social It makes sense that playing games makes a person more social and that leads to a competitive spirit and drive to accomplish a goal. Play improves relationships and a connection to others. Social games bring seniors together, provide companionship and most importantly, reduce loneliness. Millions of American seniors are lonely. (https://www. kwalu. com/seniors-loneliness-caring-solutions/) Popular games like chess and checkers help develop and perfect social skills and keep loneliness in check. Games help you remember Games heal emotional wounds by turning the thoughts of the player to something other than the problem. Games and play skills that tackle problem solving require planning and some research. That puts the brain to work and exercises the organ. For people who have issues with memory loss, games and puzzles are helpful. Arts and craft projects are proven to slow the memory loss process.

However, as senior living communities are changing for the better, more and more seniors prefer these environments to their own homes. Here’s a few reasons why: senior living has definitely become more luxurious, seniors living in communities are more active and they are rarely bored. Not created equal but accommodating to all When mom or dad move to an independent living or assisted living, they are looking for a less stressful level of living. Do your homework; you will discover each community is unique, so mom and dad can get a custom experience. The communities range in style from stately and traditional to modern and contemporary with open floor plans. They come in all sizes and layouts – intimate cottages for a smaller group of residents, high-rise apartment buildings and large suburban all-levels-of-care-inclusive campuses. Features today include outdoor spaces that resemble resorts with walking paths, lakes and high-end swimming pools. Levels of care change, level of style should not Believe it or not, the age of independent living residents begins at 60. Seniors needing some help with daily personal living will find assisted living communities meet their requirements. For a higher level of care, mom or dad can move into skilled nursing residences. For residents experiencing the effects of dementia and Alzheimer’s, most communities have Memory Care units. There are special considerations at every level of... --- - Published: 2019-10-17 - Modified: 2024-10-02 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/living-the-senior-life/ - Categories: Blog Blog - October 17, 2019 Older adults are not what any of us imagined when we were growing up. The grandparents of the new millennium are living longer. They are more active and more interested in being social than their grandparents were. 50 million Americans are 65 and older and they are more racially and economically diverse than ever. Many are living more healthy lives but 1 in 5 need some level of personal care after age 85. Who are the seniors and how are they doing Think back to grade school, there were more girls than boys in your classes. That trend continues throughout all of life’s cycles. Senior women outnumber men 2 to 1 in most senior living communities. Most of these women enjoy financial security. This group manages their money well. The so- called fastest aging states in the country are Alaska, Colorado and Arizona. The state with the oldest Americans is Florida, with about 20 percent of the residents 65 and older. Food for thought for seniors Seniors should eat to maintain a high quality of life and many do. As we age, doctors recommended that we eat foods that keep our heart, bones and mind strong. What foods are those? Studies show people who eat foods high in vitamin A are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Omega-3 fatty acids help keep hearts healthy and slow brain cell loss.

Welcome to the new and stylish contemporary design of Senior Living Communities across the US. Seniors are loving it! Whatever the motivation to move from a home to a senior living community, seniors are attracted to communities elegantly designed and well cared for. Comforts of home may not transition well Believe it, or not, some of the old comforts of home can actually hinder the physical capabilities of an aging body and create the need for a move. Overstuffed sofas can prevent an older person with an existing back problem from getting up off a sofa. Toilets too low, without the extended heights can also be problematic when going from a sitting to a standing position. Steps can be cumbersome for seniors with knee or arthritic conditions. Creating the right environment using comfortable senior living furniture can help make the right impression. Safety as big a factor as style in Senior Living Design Style and safety play a big part in the planning of any senior community, and designing safe senior living environments helps make a great first impression with new residents. From to ranch style single floorplans to lifts in swimming pools, everything from safe senior living furniture to flooring is considered. As residents age, diminishing eyesight and strength and fall frequency are crucial considerations when choosing which comforts of home make the transition to senior living... --- - Published: 2019-08-16 - Modified: 2024-10-02 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/is-metal-the-best-idea-for-assisted-living-furniture/ - Categories: Blog Blog - August 16, 2019 Metal furniture has evolved a little from the 1960’s folding card table and chair sets but metal still has a long way to go to achieve the homelike environment today’s seniors have come to expect. Furniture for seniors and assisted living communities must contribute to a safe environment, be easy to clean and be beautiful. Resident Surveys Effected by Questionable Metal Surfaces Furniture surfaces send messages to residents about the cleanliness of their surroundings. Metal furniture may appear to be more cost effective. However, when nicked by wheelchairs, canes, walkers or other furniture, it rusts, looks older and more worn than it is; repair and repurchase make it more expensive in the end. It is now the norm for people to let the world know about their experiences, good and bad, and those reviews can and do have an effect on where people choose to stay. There are a number of questions asked residents and their families about the atmosphere, quality of life and cleanliness of the rooms in assisted living. The look of the assisted living furniture in those rooms will have an impact on their reaction. Metal Delivers a Chilly Reception Aging changes our senses. As we age, our bodies become sensitive to cold. We are unable to generate enough heat to maintain the normal body temperature of 98. 6 degrees. Add to that, our skin becomes thinner as we age. Comfort matters and metal can be quite cool to the touch.

Comfortable armchairs for seniors can help support areas of the body that are, by time or by illness, challenged by weakness. The good news is the armchairs of 2019 do not have to look like nursing home furniture. Today’s designs have added stylish chairs, ottomans, benches, recliners and stools to give seniors a wide variety of seating options. Preferred Dining Room Chairs for Seniors The height of the seat from the floor is very important in dining chairs for seniors. If the seat of the chair is too low, already weakened joints have to work harder to sit and get up from a seated position. Consider the depth of the seat. It has to support the full length of the thigh. Dining environments have changed over the years so dining chairs for seniors should include styles with and without arms, bariatric seating models, café seating, benches, bar and counter stools. Bistros are gaining ground in the senior living dining arena. Preferred by the active and more social residents, ease of use and comfort are the primary functions of the furniture here. Preferred Lounge Chairs for Seniors If you are looking to improve the comfort level in your senior living common areas, consider lounge collections. The collection will include a chair,... --- - Published: 2019-06-27 - Modified: 2024-10-02 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/senior-health-and-wellness-in-dining/ - Categories: Blog Blog - June 27, 2019 By definition, ‘wellness’ is the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal. Senior living communities promote the components of wellness for seniors in many environments and the staff is poised to raise the social, physical and emotional wellness quotient of their residents. Many of the components of wellness coalesce in senior living dining environments. When seniors gather to dine, they create social and emotional connections with their fellow seniors and caregivers. Resident-centered Offerings in Senior Living Dining Seniors are playing a large role in what they eat and how they eat. That is to say, the environment in which they choose to dine. While some seniors prefer the setting of a dining room and traditional meal times in that setting, others like to have some meals mixed in with their active life styles. Senior living communities are accommodating with cafes, grab and go options, delis, salad bars and specialty restaurants. Dining and Activity Promote Wellness With an increased demand for wellness-based nutrition communities are leading the charge with healthy eating for seniors, providing fresh over frozen, greater choice and education. Communities are preparing meals as the seniors make their requests. There are meatless and vegan options. Seniors learn the nutritional value of their dietary choices. Some communities are connecting the dots between varied diets, good nutrition and fitness combinations to lead to good health.

From smartphones to high-speed internet, seniors are quickly learning how to use tech devices and services to help them live a more productive quality of life. Voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant devices and services make it easy to manage security and safety and provide information with a simple request. Magnifying tools for computer screens and digital tablets provide more communication options, including face-to-face conversations with doctors, family, and friends. Senior living technology is making life better for seniors. Sight and Sound Tech Assistance There is a noticeable rise in the use of assistive technology devices (ATDs) among seniors. As a matter of fact according to a recent AARP survey one in seven Americans 50 and older own a personal assistant enabled device. In addition to voice-controlled personal assistant devices, there is a voice-controlled clock. There are devices and apps that measure heart rate, blood pressure and will deliver an alert when it is time for a meal, snack or medication. Most of these devices are available with extra-large sized readouts and key pads. Technology Works for Staff and Senior Living Care Assisted living technology is making life easier for the user and it is an aid for medical staff and caregivers in senior living. Seniors are more independent with the influx of power wheelchairs and scooters. Medical alert buttons, worn, as a necklace or a bracelet, are easily accessible.

Ask your aging parent that question, and you will probably get a resounding ‘NEVER’ that is because most people have a skewed view of what a skilled nursing community actually is. Many people think of institutional environments; dismal places where the elderly languish waiting for someone to attend their every need because they cannot care for themselves. That perception is changing. What is Skilled Nursing Care? Skilled nursing is not the same as in old-style nursing homes. While focus on the care of the elderly by highly trained medical staff, the most significant difference in skilled nursing is its goal. The staff in skilled nursing provides rehabilitation services that help sick and disabled people get back on their feet. As people live longer, the need for skilled nursing rises. We feel better, but bones and muscle need to gain strength to continue to do the work of holding the aging body up and helping it to function at a high level. Skilled nursing for seniors focuses on the rehabilitation and tracks the progress. Assisted Living vs Skilled Nursing Environments If someone has to assist you in a senior living community, is that the same thing as skilled nursing? Not really. Assisted Living is for seniors who do not require constant care. Seniors who live in assisted living need assistance with the activities of daily living and the key word... --- - Published: 2019-03-25 - Modified: 2024-10-02 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/whats-your-color-story/ - Categories: Blog Blog - March 25, 2019 Color brings a room to life. It can take a space from drab to fab. Color can even set or change a mood. How color impacts mood carries great importance. People in some ancient cultures considered color as a healing tool. Yellow to increase nerve function; shades of blue to treat pain; red to increase circulation. Today, senior living communities are utilizing colors to create feelings of wellbeing for residents and staff. Colors in Senior Living Design Colors matter but so do the shades and tones. As we age, our vision starts to change. Colors appear to have a grayish tone. It is important to help seniors distinguish between the rooms of their community and color is a great way to do that. A specific and coordinating color pattern can be helpful in wayfinding, especially in hallways without windows. If a bedroom wall is earth toned, the adjoining bath should be a complimentary and comforting shade of blue. Color is Not Just for Walls: Color & Interior Design When we think of color, we tend to think of paint and wall coverings but color extends beyond the walls. A room can be warm and inviting with the coordinating colors on the furniture and the floors as well as the walls. Select fabrics easily cleaned to maintain their good colorful looks. Create spaces that engage the residents, their visitors and the community staff.

As we live longer, we are living better, and ‘wellness’ is replacing the word ‘care’. Independent and assisted living communities are investing in wellness promoting spaces like yoga/meditation rooms and meal options are lighter, fresher and more health conscious. Today we explore this philosophical shift in caring for seniors and residents of assisted living communities. Biophilic Design: Wellness for Assisted Living There is a growing emphasis on Biophilia, which is the “love of life and the living world”. We instinctively connect to nature. Biophilic Design focuses on this access to nature, which can improve mental and physical health. This is not just about putting plants in a space. The best way to provide the benefits of the outdoors to seniors, the fresh air, the sunlight and delightful smell of the flowers and trees, is to provide seniors with more access to outdoor spaces. Designing for senior wellness seeks ways to bring the color, the light, all of the sights and sounds of the outdoors to the inside. It is about what will have a positive effect on mood, well-being and healing. What’s on the surface Surfaces in senior living are touched a lot. There is mounting evidence that germs and serious illnesses grow on surfaces. Wood surfaces are susceptible to scuffs and scratches and with more cleaning, those surfaces become more... --- - Published: 2019-01-21 - Modified: 2024-10-02 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/2019-trends-in-senior-living-design/ - Categories: Blog Blog - January 21, 2019 Seniors are living longer and relatively healthier and active lives. They are leaving the homes they raised their families in and moving to communities that meet their needs in the style they have grown accustomed to. Independent and Assisted Living communities are listening and providing the updated amenities and services the incoming residents are asking for. Below is a list of emerging design trends in senior living communities Resort-Style Assisted Living Design Senior living design is all about how seniors live. These active seniors are moving into an environment expecting a carefree lifestyle. They want excellent accommodations and cuisine. Dining choices go beyond picking the time to dine. Dining options include varied dining locales, greater menu variety and more culturally diverse food selections. Dining furniture is luxurious and comfortable. Benches with high backs are a very popular seating choice. Quality of lifestyle The older generation is making the move to senior living at the not so older age of mid-60. Why? Social activities, interpersonal relationships, emotional and intellectual stimulation. In essence, they are opting for a more enriching quality of life. Senior living interior design for 2019 and in the years ahead will feature activities that build new friendships, add personal trainers for increased elder fitness and spas and salons for increased senior style.

True, they should be high on the list, but the most important factor to consider is safety. Creating Secure Environments for Seniors There are a number of ways seniors can and do fall in communities. Floors without carpeting or rugs are preferred. If carpeting is used in assisted living homes, it should be low pile. High pile carpeting increases the likelihood that someone will trip and get hurt. Properly secure rugs on the corners and all the way around the edges. In the kitchen areas, floor space should be wide enough for wheelchairs to pass between counters and center islands. In bathrooms, there should be non-skid surfaces on the bottom of tubs. Door locks should be installed that can be opened from both sides. Water temperature must not exceed 120° to make sure seniors do not suffer any serious burns. Comfortable Senior Living Design Many seniors struggle to get up from a seated position. If chairs do not have armrests, there is a serious risk for falls. Make sure that the chairs in your loved one’s living area, dining area, and other common areas have arms. Seat height is important. 18. 5 inches is the ideal height from the floor for most seniors. If your loved one is petite, you may want to obtain smaller chairs that he or... --- - Published: 2018-11-26 - Modified: 2024-10-02 - URL: https://www.kwalu.com/senior-living/dont-forget-activities-for-memory-care-patients/ - Categories: Blog Blog - November 26, 2018 Keep the mind interested Helping to create safe activities for Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients that keeps them active and interested can be challenging. It is compounded when those seniors reside in assisted living communities. How do you keep many minds focused enough to enjoy activities? Minds that are being ravaged by diseases that cause them to wander and forget. Find and offer memory care activities that seek to raise the senior’s mood, reduce agitation and encourage social interaction. Creating Safe Spaces for Memory Care Activities Activity spaces for seniors with dementia must be safe spaces – free of sharp objects and as uncluttered as possible. People with dementia may have difficulty with visual perception. Good lighting, with as little glare as possible, is preferred. Seating and tables should be used that are made with Alzheimer’s resident’s in mind. Ergonomic seating with warm, wood-like and pick-proof finishes will insure residents are seated at the proper work heights and not distracted by disturbing textures. Activities should trigger learning and promote self-esteem Look for activities for Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients that will encourage learning. If you create or purchase grooved puzzle boards and provide large fun shaped puzzle pieces, seniors can create colorful pictures over and over again. If reading skills have diminished, providing audio books in the resident’s areas of interest can bring as much pleasure as listening to old favorites on the radio.

While it’s not a fair statement to say that all seniors living by themselves are lonely, a solitary living state can lead to isolation. A number of studies point out that a lack of social interaction may be more detrimental to a senior’s health than over eating and smoking. There are a number of factors that lead to senior loneliness. As we age, those closest to us may pass away. Seniors may also find themselves living in a new environment that moves them away from loved ones. They may even find the idea of making new friends a bit daunting. Environmental Senior Loneliness Solutions Senior living communities should focus on creating environments that say ‘welcome’ as a way to combat senior loneliness. Common areas that are comfortable and inviting, activity rooms that lend themselves to small group events like playing cards or just conversation are important spaces. Dining rooms that offer choices in seating – smaller intimate settings, informal café locales as well as the large formal dining rooms. These choices provide options, social outlets, for residents who may otherwise decide to just remain in their room, alone.

The community should meet a person’s needs and wants, to help the resident make good decisions about their lives on an ongoing basis. Create an assisted living residence checklist of questions when you interview communities Prepare questions to ask the sales director about how the community accommodates the changing needs of residents. From written material, including copies of the residency agreement, to move-in and move-out criteria and house rules an assisted living checklist can be a helpful resource. Ask if the community is a continuing care community where the level of care includes memory or skilled nursing. Determine if you can stay for the long term Most assisted living communities you visit will offer residents the promise of a forever home. Remember, assisted living care needs can change over time, especially as residents age. The average stay in assisted living communities is a little over 2 years, and the most common reason for leaving is that the person needs more care. Look Beyond... What are the levels of care in the community and the different costs for those levels?

The popular choice for these seniors is becoming continuing care retirement communities. Transitioning from homes they’ve owned for decades can be very stressful, not only for the resident but for their families and the senior living communities have to be prepared to welcome them and help them navigate their new surroundings as well as provide a high level of amenities. These residents have done a lot of living and they come to the community with high expectations. Once the decision is made to move, the next, and possibly toughest, decision is deciding what to take. Pairing down sentimental items from generations past can present a real challenge when moving from a 3000 sq. ft. home to a one or two-bedroom apartment. Ultimately, decisions have to be made about things, precious things. What can be kept or what has to be let go. Not everyone has five children waiting to fight over Great Grandma’s antique table and chairs. The younger generation doesn’t always want the fine china that cannot go into the dishwasher and would prefer to eat out rather than take on all the pots, pans, linens and silverware that go with preparing a meal. Additionally, the stress of cleaning out a home where the resident has lived over many years collecting rooms filled with antiques can be a daunting task.

When the choice is up to you, what makes a hospital stand out as a favorite and what features make you turn and run? Everyone wants a hospital to provide top notched care and cure what ails you. That’s a given. The expertise of one hospital over another weighs large in a decision as well. But what else about a hospital moves it up in the selection process? Updated hospital design It’s safe to say if a location is updated and luxurious people will automatically want to go there. That is the way it is with hotels, resorts, and yes, hospitals. No one wants to sit in seats with stained upholstery, on chair frames that have wood chipped from wear while looking at walls with aging or, even worse, peeling paint. People decide the health of a place when the first impression is made. Bright and colorful are signs of clean Large windows in lobbies, receptions and patient rooms of hospitals not only let in light but create beautiful views.

Residents and their families want the opportunity to select where they dine and how they dine. Grand dining rooms have not disappeared in senior living communities. They remain the formal place for group meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner. However senior living communities now provide more choices for residents to have meals together in casual settings. The dining atmosphere and the selections in senior living today feel a lot like resort living. Smaller dining spaces and greater dietary expectations Cafes and other smaller dining spaces are preferred and get consistent use from residents who are more social and active. Residents are interested in foods that are prepared fresh and, whenever possible, locally sourced. By offering unstructured dining spaces with fresh choices like light salads, fresh fruits and vegetables, grilled entrees and sandwiches on request, mealtimes are flexible for busy residents. Options are the newest trend Senior living residents today want choices. They believe variety is truly the spice of life. Along with the restaurant style locations popping up in modern senior living communities, are a variety of settings defined as much by the sleek, comfortable furniture as they are by the food choices. Bar and counter stools in certain venues suggest a casual feel; a place when men and women can gather for a light menu while involved in a social activity like watching a sporting event or a movie.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association’s statistics, increasing age is the greatest risk factor for the disease, doubling every five years after age 65. In memory care, furniture sets the standard that provides a sense of home and familiarity without sacrificing a sense of style. Don’t confuse homey with homely as the look of a memory care should create a calming, comforting environment. What is memory care design What is memory care design? Memory care design is dementia friendly design that is livable and free of clutter. It is a clean design that supports individuals with dementia and allows them to be comfortable in their environment. A wing back chair with gently rounded edges protects delicate skin. Bariatric furniture can safely support a generous seat size. Smooth rocking motion offers soothing comfort with rockers, gliders and motion chairs. Design that is visually pleasing, tactile and triggers good memories can help calm residents and reduce wandering. Caring for Seniors with Dementia Caring for seniors with Dementia can be challenging. Some important guidelines can be used when designing residential care with those afflicted. The importance of the use of contrast in Memory Care environments cannot be overstated.

It can be challenging to devise an activity plan when you have to consider varied cultural and religious backgrounds. Add the fact that some residents are single and some are married and it’s a challenge that presents itself every day. More than a man cave Senior living interior design space for men can be challenging when single women tend to make up the majority of the residents in a senior living community. Designing for men and incorporating activities that they can engage in together can include, playing pool, hanging out in a common area pub, or just pumping iron at a supervised gym. It is very important to have areas designed where guys can have some male bonding time. Design with women in mind Senior living design trends for women focus on such amenities as hair and nail salons with private areas for massage. Women in senior living also enjoy playing cars, painting and crafts so activity rooms with separate areas are needed to accommodate them.
