Home / Markets / Senior Living

Senior living has to feel like home while performing like a commercial space — warm and dignified for residents, reassuring for families, and durable and cleanable for staff. We bring our healthcare-grade specification, our residential-meets-commercial durability, and our ergonomic comfort and mobility expertise to senior living — across independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

One room or a full community — you’re the right size.

From a single dining room refresh to a full community, you get the same expertise and the same manufacturer access. No project is too small to do well.

How we help

Home-like comfort, commercial durability.

Home, not institutional

Residential warmth — fabrics, finishes, and forms that feel like home — engineered to commercial durability and cleanability standards.

Safety & mobility aware

Seat heights and supportive arms that help residents sit and rise, stable frames, and cleanable, moisture-aware textiles — comfort that also protects.

Memory care — we’ve done it

We furnished The Wealshire, a leading facility dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, and can specify the calming, wayfinding-friendly, durable environments memory care and higher-acuity settings require.

Dignity & family confidence

Spaces that respect residents and reassure the families who choose them — the look and feel that wins a tour.

Spaces we outfit

Every space residents live in.

Dining & Bistro

Cleanable, comfortable dining and bistro seating that residents enjoy and staff can maintain.

Lounges & Common Areas

Soft seating and gathering spaces that feel residential and handle constant, all-day use.

Resident Rooms

Comfortable, dignified, easy-to-clean furnishings sized and supported for residents.

Activity & Wellness

Calming, safe, wayfinding-friendly environments built for specialized care.

Reception & Family

A warm, confident first impression for residents, families, and visitors.

About This Page

Is a single dining room or lounge too small a project?
No. Whether it’s one space or a whole community, you get the same team, expertise, and manufacturer access. We size our involvement to your project.
Are your textiles cleanable and moisture-resistant for resident use?
Yes — we specify cleanable, moisture-barrier, and antimicrobial textiles suited to senior living and higher-acuity settings, and document the cleaning protocols.
Do you handle memory care and higher-acuity needs?
Yes — we furnished The Wealshire, a leading Alzheimer’s-care facility, and can specify calming, wayfinding-friendly, durable solutions for memory care and higher-acuity environments, drawing on our healthcare expertise.
Can you support a multi-community portfolio?
Yes — consistent specification, pricing, and service across communities, so a portfolio stays coherent and on budget.

Working with Applied Ergonomics

What types of projects does Applied Ergonomics work on?
We work on projects of all sizes, from single-office setups to multi-floor corporate buildouts. Our services span workspace strategy, interior design, furniture specification, procurement, project management, and installation across healthcare, education, corporate, industrial, and hospitality environments.
How does the consultation process work?
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and timeline. From there we develop a tailored approach that may include space planning, product recommendations, and a detailed proposal. There’s no obligation, and we’re happy to answer questions at any stage.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with architects and interior designers as a technical and execution resource, translating design intent into specific, high-performing solutions.
What geographic areas do you serve?
We serve clients nationally. While we’re headquartered in the Chicago area, our project management and installation capabilities extend across the United States.
Do you support ongoing facility needs after a project is complete?
Yes. We remain a consistent point of contact beyond project closeout—handling warranty coordination, reconfigurations, internal moves, modular system relocation and reuse, redesigns, and more. Our goal is continuity, not re-procurement.
