Strategic FF&E Investments for Maximum ROI in Senior Living

Maximizing ROI through Strategic FF&E Investments

FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) is a term to describe certain design pieces that are not permanently attached to the environment. In essence these are items that can be easily removed and replaced if needed. So when investing in new FF&E, there is an important balance of investing into temporary items that offer the longest lifespan in the most cost effective manner. Here are the greatest investments you can make to begin refreshing your spaces.

Multi-Purpose Layouts

To effectively maximize ROI, consider incorporating furniture that facilitates multiple layouts. In senior living environments, furniture doesn’t have to  be limited to a single purpose. Lux Manufacturing + Design specializes in crafting versatile and adaptable room layouts using a single set of furniture, catering to the diverse needs of senior communities. Through coaching, we ensure clarity on how each layout functions within the space, often developing different configurations for each room to meet specific requirements.

This ability to create dynamic and multi-functional layouts is enabled by specially designed furniture. For instance, tables with lockable casters offer easy mobility for various activities, while flip-top mechanisms allow for compact storage, maximizing available space. Custom bases facilitate efficient room reconfiguration, enhancing flexibility as needed.

Lux Manufacturing + Design’s commitment to versatility empowers senior communities to optimize their spaces. Our customizable solutions and innovative furniture enable seamless transformation for a wide range of activities, from dining and social gatherings to recreational programs. This flexibility not only enhances space functionality but also fosters a more engaging and responsive environment, tailored to the unique needs of senior residents.

By utilizing adaptable furniture, communities avoid the need for multiple furniture sets, reducing overall expenditures. Additionally, easy space reconfiguration extends furniture lifespan by preventing wear and tear from repetitive use in a single setup. Ultimately, Lux's innovative space utilization ensures optimized FF&E investments, delivering greater value and efficiency for senior living communities.

Durable Materials for Longer Lifespans

Durable furniture also plays a pivotal role in effective FF&E investments in senior living, significantly extending the lifespan of these investments and ensuring a higher return. Residents enjoy the feel of sturdy, wood furniture, and at Lux, we prioritize both durability and elegance in our furniture selections.

For our wood dining chairs, we exclusively use beechwood due to its exceptional qualities that  marry form with function. Beechwood's flexibility allows us to craft beautifully curved designs with supportive armrests and contoured seating, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and comfort. This durability ensures that our chairs can withstand the rigors of daily use in senior living environments, making them a wise investment for any dining space.

Our commitment to durability extends to our dining tables as well. Featuring polyurethane edges with a wood grain finish, our tables are designed to withstand repeated impacts from wheelchairs and carts, ensuring they maintain their elegant appearance for years to come.

To achieve the same level of durability with a luxurious aesthetic, we utilize aluminum for chairs that need to endure even more wear and tear. By reverse engineering our dining chairs and adjusting proportions, we create pieces that mimic the appearance of wood but offer superior durability, making them ideal for high-traffic areas in senior living environments.

Choosing Lux means opting for furniture that combines durability, ease of maintenance, and customizable elegance. This ensures your investment not only lasts but also enhances the living experience in every way. Our furniture selections reflect a deep understanding of the needs in senior living, offering luxurious pieces that provide long-lasting value and withstand the demands of daily use without compromising on style or comfort.
