How to Optimize Space for Safety and Comfort
As a nursing home owner or administrator, you must prioritize your residents’ safety and comfort. The furniture you choose plays a crucial role in achieving this goal.
In this article, we’ll share tips for optimizing furniture placement. We’ll cover creating clear pathways, reducing clutter, and using furniture to define activity areas. Plus, we’ll help you select the best nursing home furniture from our collection at Transfer Enterprises.
Creating Clear Pathways
Start by ensuring clear, unobstructed pathways throughout the nursing home. These pathways allow residents to move safely.
Seniors with mobility issues may struggle if furniture blocks their way, which could increase the risk of falls. A 36-inch-wide path is ideal to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility aids. Also, avoid carpets or uneven floors that might cause trips.
Reduce Clutter
A cluttered environment can be overwhelming for seniors with dementia or cognitive impairment. People living there may become disoriented and have trouble navigating the area if there is too much clutter.
To avoid clutter, it’s essential to remove unnecessary furniture and items that take up space. When selecting furniture for nursing homes, choose pieces that are functional and offer ample storage to keep items out of sight.
Using Furniture to Create Designated Activity Areas
Nursing home residents benefit from designated activity areas, such as lounges, dining rooms, and activity rooms. These areas provide seniors with a sense of purpose and help them maintain their independence.
When selecting furniture for these areas, it’s essential to choose pieces that are comfortable and functional. Chairs and sofas should be easy to get in and out of, and tables should be the right height for seniors to use comfortably.
It’s also essential to create a layout that allows residents to move around the space freely.
