Cracking the Storage Code for Senior Living
Blog – November 23, 2023
Your parents are getting ready to move into an assisted living apartment. The resident space in these communities can range from cozy and private up to spacious and shared and has a size of 350 to 1000 square feet. Your parents are going to need storage space. 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. Kwalu’s Atlanta II combined a single door wardrobe, display shelves and a 6-drawer dresser here. It gives the user the convenience of having all storage in one well-designed space.
Wall mounted private storage
Storage for seniors in the resident room should be functional, stylish and, above all, safe. Kwalu’s wide array of wardrobes check all the boxes from traditional to transitional. The Essex double wardrobe with a drawer and two doors provides a good amount of hanging space. Locks can be added to most wardrobe doors for added privacy and security. Create a personal look by selecting tone-on-tone or contrasting wood finishes. The Essex Wardrobes and others are required to be wall mounted for safety. Kwalu provides instructions and a kit for mounting correctly for a secure, durable, and long-lasting solution to ensure the safety of the unit and the user.
The common area credenza
Credenzas are known as a place to store dishes in private home dining rooms. But credenzas in senior living, like Kwalu’s Toledo, have a place and multiple functions in more than just dining rooms. In common areas they provide a place for staff and residents to store games and other activities behind closed doors. Marketing materials are stored neatly in the drawers of the Toledo. A television is placed at perfect eye height when placed on top.
