The Senior Living Market is highly specialized in its carpet needs. It demands a wide range of designs and colors, along with specific high performance product requirements that will fit the needs of the target residents.
The needs for a Senior Living environment are much different than that of a typical residence. The goal of a Senior Living environment is to create a comfortable, warm home environment that meets the necessary safety needs for the tenants. With aging, color vision and contrast sensitivity are affected. The changes in color vision make it difficult to distinguish between blues and blue-greens. To combat this, warm colors are a good palette choice. For contrast sensitivity, patterns must be designed so as not to create a depth perception problem.
Milliken offers a wide range of products that can meet the unique requirements for the Senior Living environment while at the same time not sacrificing the beauty of the environment. Read on to learn more about Designed for Senior Living™ product specifications.
