Senior Living Art & Framing Wayfinding

Senior Living Art & Wayfinding Programs

Senior living communities deserve more than clinical corridors and generic prints. Modern Memory Design and FramedArt.com help you create warm, residential-feeling environments where wayfinding is intuitive, and every floor and hallway feels like “home” for residents and families.

From our frame shop at 213 Boulevard, Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, we ship nationwide, providing turnkey art and framing packages for independent and assisted living residences.

Why Art-Led Wayfinding Matters in Senior Living

In senior living, orientation and emotional comfort go hand in hand. When hallways look identical, residents feel lost. When corridors and shared spaces are anchored with recognizable, consistent imagery, residents navigate more easily and feel more confident in their surroundings.

  • Familiar, non-institutional imagery that resonates with older adults.
  • Visual landmarks that make finding suites, dining rooms, and activity spaces easier.
  • Color and theme continuity that gives each “neighborhood” its own identity.
  • Durable materials tailored for high-traffic, high-touch environments.

Design Goals for Senior Living Artwork

  • Use local and regional scenes to spark recognition and conversation.
  • Incorporate nature, florals, and soft scenic art to create calm and comfort.
  • Keep imagery clear, optimistic, and gently nostalgic, avoiding harsh or chaotic visuals.
  • Place art strategically at decision points (corridor turns, elevator lobbies, dining entries) as wayfinding anchors.
