From Gathering Areas to Bedrooms, We’ve Got Your Senior Living Facility Flooring Needs Covered
Marmoleum
This type of linoleum flooring is made from 98% natural, renewable raw materials like linseed oil, wood flour, limestone, and jute. It’s a great option for senior living facilities because it’s:
- Durable and long-lasting, becoming harder over time for lasting performance
- Eco-friendly, offering anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and allergy/asthma-friendly properties
- Versatile, offering a wide range of colors, patterns, and formats to fit any design style
- Easy to maintain
- Comfortable and quiet underfoot
Marmoleum flooring is perfect for areas where residents are eating and receiving healthcare.
Patterned Carpet Tiles
This modular carpet offers design flexibility and ease of installation for senior living facilities. It’s no-slip and easy to clean — a great option for the elderly.
Patterned carpet tiles are great for gathering areas in senior living facilities, hallways, bedrooms, and more.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
A durable, waterproof, scratch-resistant, and stylish option, luxury vinyl tile is great for high-traffic spaces in a senior living facility, like gathering rooms, entryways, or hallways. With proper installation, luxury vinyl tile is budget-friendly, easy to maintain, and offers comfort underfoot.
Hardwood
Hardwood flooring is a great option for senior living facilities because it is durable, easy to clean, and long-lasting. It also provides a smooth finish for walkers, wheelchairs, and canes. The natural, non-toxic composition of hardwood also makes it a great choice for senior living.
Installation
At Interior Motives Flooring, our in-house team handles the full installation process for your new senior living facility flooring — start to finish. We work efficiently to minimize disruptions to your day-to-day operations. We’ll prep the space and guide your team on how to get things ready to make the installation as smooth as possible. We can even work after hours or on a weekend for a small additional cost.
Replacement Service
Our team will take a close look at your current senior living facility flooring to figure out what no longer serves your space—whether it’s wear and tear, outdated materials, or just not the right fit anymore. From there, we’ll recommend the best replacement options that suit your needs, style, and daily foot traffic. Once you’ve made your pick, we handle the entire replacement process, making it easy to upgrade your senior living facility with flooring that works, but looks better, too.
Our Flooring Process for Senior Living Facilities
Initial Consultation & Free Estimate
At Interior Motives Flooring, we begin with a consultation on-site or in our showroom. We’ll discuss the goals for your space, the ideal timeline, budget, and how the space will be used. During this time, we’ll also discuss industry-specific needs like noise control, durability, slip resistance, and more. Once we have a plan in place, we’ll sample and select flooring and get started on installation.
Showroom Visit & Product Selection
Visiting our showroom is a great way to get a look and feel for our different flooring options. Here, we’ll bring your vision to life and discuss the different materials and styles that may fit your senior living facility best. If you’re unsure what to choose, you can take samples back to your space to test your options out in different lighting and real-world conditions.
Onsite Assessment
Visiting the job site to measure, assess subfloor conditions, and identify any challenges is a crucial part of our process. We’ll also take note of foot traffic, layout, and furniture to recommend the best flooring for your needs.
Pre-Installation Coordination
Once your floor selection has been made, we’ll begin prepping for installation. We’ll move furniture out, clear accessways, and more.
Before we begin working, we’ll confirm final material choices and timeline once more.
Professional Installation
Our in-house installers will handle the entire process from start to finish. We’ll maintain a clean and organized workspace to help avoid any disruptions to residents and staff while we work. We’ll also keep you informed as we go, updating you if complications or setbacks arise.
We understand that your senior living facility cannot close during construction, so we offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs. If necessary, we can work after hours or over the weekends for an additional fee.
Final Walk-Through and Follow-Up
Once construction is complete, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough to ensure you’re happy with our work. We’ll also provide maintenance and care instructions so your floor can remain in optimal condition for as long as possible.
During this time, we’ll also schedule a post-installation follow-up to ensure your new flooring is performing just as it should and address any questions or concerns you might have.
FAQs: Commercial Flooring for Senior Living Facilities
Any flooring option that offers slip resistance, low pile, and minimal transitions is a great option for a senior living facility. Many facilities choose luxury vinyl tile, low-pile carpet, and marmoleum because of these characteristics.
Senior living facilities should take residents who use walkers or wheelchairs into consideration when choosing their flooring options. Ideally, floors that offer smooth, firm, and stable support are necessary. Think about having minimal seams at floor transitions between rooms, durability for rolling traffic, and low-friction surfaces.
The right carpet can be a good choice for a senior living facility if it is low-pile and installed properly. Carpets offer a soft underfoot for comfort when walking, a safer place to land if there is a fall, and improved acoustics for absorbing noise.
However, high-pile carpets can impede walkers and wheelchairs and increase tripping hazards for the elderly.
Before making a final decision on flooring for your senior living facility, consider the maintenance necessary for each flooring solution. Ideally, you should choose a flooring that is:
- Easy to clean
- Water-resistent
- Doesn’t require waxing or polishing
- Resilient against cleaning chemicals
- Durable
- Stain-resistant
