Nursing Home Furniture Questions from Facilities
What nursing home furniture does Geriatric Medical carry?
We carry furniture for the main areas of a senior care facility: resident room furniture such as overbed tables, nightstands, dressers, and wardrobes; kitchen and dining furniture such as dining tables and dining chairs; and chairs for resident rooms, lounges, and common areas. Furniture is available for single-room replacements as well as larger multi-room or facility-wide orders.
What should we look for in chairs for elderly residents?
Chairs for senior care should make it easy and safe for residents to sit down and stand up. Key features include a seat height that lets the resident's feet rest flat on the floor, a firm seat cushion that doesn't sink too deeply, sturdy full-length armrests residents can push off from, and a stable base that won't tip or slide. Cleanable, fluid-resistant upholstery is also important for infection control and incontinence care.
What type of upholstery is best for nursing home furniture?
Healthcare-grade vinyl and fluid-barrier fabrics are the most common choices because they resist moisture, stains, and odors and can be cleaned with the disinfectants used in healthcare settings. When comparing upholstery, check whether it's compatible with your facility's disinfectants, whether seams are sealed to keep fluids out of the cushion, and whether the material is rated for heavy commercial use. Many facilities choose finishes and colors that feel residential while still meeting clinical cleaning requirements.
What should we consider when choosing dining furniture for a senior living facility?
Dining tables should allow residents in wheelchairs to pull up comfortably, which means enough clearance under the table apron and a table height that works with wheelchair armrests. Dining chairs with arms help residents sit and stand safely, and chairs with front casters or glides make it easier for staff to move residents closer to the table. Durable, cleanable surfaces on both tables and chairs are important because dining furniture is cleaned several times a day.
What furniture is typically needed to furnish a resident room?
A typical resident room includes a bed, an overbed table, a nightstand or bedside cabinet, a dresser or wardrobe for clothing and personal items, and a chair for the resident or visitors. Overbed tables should adjust in height and roll easily so they can be positioned over the bed or a chair for meals and activities. Rounded corners, stable construction, and furniture sized to leave clear paths for walkers, wheelchairs, and patient lifts all help support resident safety.
Do you carry bariatric furniture?
Yes. Bariatric seating and furniture options are available with wider seats, reinforced frames, and higher weight capacities. Any furniture used by a resident should have a rated weight capacity that meets or exceeds that resident's weight, so check the capacity listed for each product when selecting furniture for bariatric residents.
Does nursing home furniture need to meet fire safety or flammability standards?
Often, yes. Healthcare facilities are subject to life safety and fire codes, and some states and jurisdictions have flammability requirements for upholstered furniture and other furnishings. Requirements vary by location and facility type, so confirm what applies to your building with your life safety or facilities team, and review each product's flammability specifications before ordering.
Do you offer volume pricing on nursing home furniture?
Yes. Volume pricing is available for facilities ordering multiple pieces, furnishing several rooms or units, or standardizing furniture across locations.
Can we order nursing home furniture through EDI or a punchout catalog?
Yes. Geriatric Medical supports EDI ordering and punchout catalog integration for accounts that manage purchasing through their own procurement, EHR, or ERP systems, so furniture can be ordered the same way as the rest of your catalog without manual re-entry.
