When it comes to furnishing senior living facilities — whether it’s independent living, assisted living, or memory care — comfort alone isn’t enough. Seating must meet a unique blend of safety standards, functional needs, durability demands, and aesthetic expectations.
At JD’s Upholstery, we specialize in custom upholstery for senior living facilities across the U.S., delivering high-performance seating that blends safety, warmth, and design flexibility. Here’s how we help facility managers, designers, and administrators create environments residents love — and staff trust.
🛡️ 1. Safety Comes First
Senior living seating must be stable, supportive, and easy to get in and out of. We design and reupholster seating that reduces fall risk and provides the right ergonomic support for aging bodies.
Our upholstery solutions include:
-
Firm, medical-grade foam to prevent sinking or tipping
-
Armchair styles with grip-ready arms
-
Rounded edges and smooth seams to reduce injury risk
-
Fire-retardant and healthcare-grade materials
We’re familiar with ADA standards, fire codes, and infection control guidelines — and we build to meet or exceed them.
🪑 2. Comfort That Feels Like Home
Residents shouldn’t feel like they’re sitting in medical furniture. That’s why we balance function with warm, welcoming aesthetics that match the look and feel of home — not a hospital.
We offer:
-
Plush but supportive cushioning
-
A wide variety of calming, residential-inspired fabrics
-
High-back and mid-back options for various needs
-
Upholstery that enhances resident dignity and comfort
Whether you’re outfitting a dining room, common lounge, chapel, or waiting area — we make sure every seat invites comfort without sacrificing support.
🎨 3. Stylish, Coordinated Designs
We work with administrators and designers to select fabrics and finishes that match your facility’s personality, while maintaining professional-grade durability.
Design features include:
-
Coordinated color schemes across rooms or campuses
-
Accent stitching, tufting, and piping for custom touches
-
Patterned, faux leather, and fabric blends for both beauty and cleanability
Want something that looks like leather but performs like vinyl? We’ve got you covered.
🧼 4. Durable and Easy to Clean
Senior care seating takes a lot of use — and it needs to withstand spills, cleaning chemicals, and daily wear. That’s why we use commercial-grade materials built for healthcare and high-traffic environments.
Features include:
-
Anti-microbial and moisture-resistant fabrics
-
Stain-resistant coatings
-
Vinyl and crypton blends ideal for healthcare use
-
Reinforced stitching and high-wear areas for long-term use
We also offer foam replacement and reupholstery to keep your facility’s furniture fresh and functional — without the cost of full replacement.
