Senior Assisted Living Signage for Residents

Interior signage can make a significant difference on an everyday basis, especially for those in retirement communities, 55+ communities, active adult living, or senior assisted living. So which senior assisted living signage do your residents need? Here’s what we advise.

Let’s start with your resident’s room or apartment. It’s the place they call home—better make it known. Use resident room signs to establish who/whom lives in each resident room within your senior community. These signs are also offered with a visual, pictorial component; you can add your resident(s)’ photo(s) to room numbers with patient picture signs to avoid any instances of mistaken identity or residents wandering into different rooms. Perfect for reinforcing that, for example, Room 22 belongs to Mr. Sterling Jones. Then, use room name signs to distinguish community areas, the dining hall, and administrative offices within your facility. Additionally, if your senior living facility offers laundry concierge service, use laundry tags to quickly differentiate between residents’ laundry bags.

A well-maintained assisted living facility includes well-placed, helpful signs that guide residents throughout the building. Of course, you’ll need restroom signs outside communal restrooms and washrooms, building directory signs and floor directory signs at building entrances, and custom wayfinding signs throughout your hallways and wings. You may also want to place signs that enforce policy or mark exits and restricted areas. For example, you might post authorized personnel only signs outside staff break rooms, storage rooms, and other rooms where residents and visitors are prohibited from entering. In addition, you will want to reinforce your facility’s smoking policies by posting no smoking signs in lobby areas, dining areas, and activity rooms.

Informational signs are designed to guide residents, visitors, and employees around your senior living facility. Shop our selection of useful signs today!

How Can I Ensure My Retirement Community Residents’ Safety?

When it comes to your retirement community, safety is not only paramount, it is everything! We know that you’re always reading up on HIPAA policies and best practices for privacy concerns, but did you know that life safety signs and policy signs offer an additional layer of physical safety and security within your senior living facility? Products such as area of refuge signs, emergency exit plans, and in case of fire signs provide vital, life-saving information to help in case an emergency arises. In addition, should you need additional social distancing signs for your assisted living facility, we offer a breadth of social distancing products and decals to choose from as well.

How Can New Signage Encourage Senior Residents to Stay Active?

Socialization is a highly important part of every senior retirement community—did you know that senior assisted living signage can promote socialization, connection, and engagement? Take information & announcement display boards: integrate these display products into the life of your senior living community as they remind residents about activities, food choices, current events, as well as important mementos and photos. Residents can, for example, refer to activity display boards to stay up-to-date on current activities and programs offered by staff. And if you’re looking for a tool to help seniors effortlessly ferry between garden areas, activity rooms, exercise classes, and dining rooms, having a well-integrated wayfinding system is front and center. Use wayfinding signs such as directional wall signs and overhead directional signage to direct residents around your senior community.
