Senior Furnishing Services – We Deliver Safe and Clutter-Free Living

30 September 2022      

Clutter within senior living spaces can be downright dangerous. It is important to create senior décor and living space that is both functional, comfortable, and visually pleasing. These are the focused considerations of our senior décor furnishing solutions.

Home furnishings must be adapted to the changing needs of the elderly. Small spaces that are simple and more efficient to maintain will keep them safe and secure. Arranging furniture nicely and easier to move around the space is an advantage.

Low furniture will sometimes make it difficult for elderly to get up and sit down independently. A higher bed is an essential for them. Go for a standard height even on dining tables. And for the bedroom, it is a good rule of thumb to look for a bed with a height such that the feet will just reach the floor when seated on the edge of the mattress. Bring in a thick mattress to add to the bed height. And make sure that the headboard is padded to provide soft cushioning to comfortable rest against too. Most importantly install grab bars and benches in bathrooms. As you all know, the bathroom will be a very dangerous place for elderly. Grab bars are a must-have as they offer additional support to hold on to while sitting down or getting up.

Overall ensure proper lighting in all parts of the house. With adequate lighting, it will make it easier for the elders to find their way around. This will also minimize the risk of injuries. A window right by the bed will give way to a natural light and a lamp beside the bed and a tube light on the wall will give special care for dark corners.
