Acoustics is a prominent issue in senior living facilities, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.
Patients being pushed on wheelchairs, linen and food carts and refuse containers can create noise pollution.
It's important that flooring creates a surface that can reduce the risk of injury associated with falls while also offering sound control and comfort for walking.
Choosing tile flooring instead of carpeting makes it easier to roll their carts and move residents around, as well as clean the surface.
