It’s easy to see how furniture can accumulate at an assisted living facility over several years. At some point too much furniture just becomes clutter. It may restrict mobility and access to certain areas, which is why you should consider removing old items that take up precious space. Here’s why should choose Junk King to remove bulk furniture from your assisted living home facility.
 

 

Issues with Assisted Living Homes

 
According to data reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the United States is approaching 30,000 residential care communities. These assisted living homes house nearly 1 million beds. Over three-fourths of these facilities are owned by commercial entities.
 
Many assisted living communities have faced complex challenges during the pandemic and have had to rethink their property layouts. During the first year of the pandemic, 31 percent of COVID-19 deaths in the US were associated with assisted living centers. Staff members as well as residents were part of the death toll.
 
The pandemic triggered various large facilities for crowds such as schools, hotels and senior communities to plan social distancing strategies. Crowded places turned out to be where the coronavirus was most likely to spread. Many of these facilities have decided to remove bulk furniture and create more open space to improve social distancing.
 

Deciding What to Keep

 
An assisted living community needs a certain amount of furniture and recreational facilities. The key to set a comfortable tone is to balance limited useful furniture with open space. Assessing what to keep vs. throw out should come down to utility, economics and aesthetics.
 

Complexities with Bulk Furniture Removal

 
Moving out bulk furniture at one time is not a job for untrained personnel at an assisted living facility. So many things can go wrong with moving heavy furniture. Employees may strain their backs and then be out of commission for awhile. Furniture might bang into walls and other objects. On top of that, the facility might not have big enough trucks to move a high volume of items.
 
Many assisted living facilities are already running on reduced staffing due to the pandemic. So it’s just easier to have this cumbersome work done by professionals who remove bulk junk on a regular basis. Since improper junk disposal can lead to heavy fines, it’s best to work with experts who know the rules about what to do with trash.
 

How Junk King Makes Bulk Removal Simple

 
The reason Junk King is the leading junk removal company in North America is because it prioritizes sustainable solutions to improve communities. We work to keep most of the junk we collect out of landfills by partnering with recycling companies and donating to charities. We also have teams who can repurpose items, especially old large furniture.
 
While facility owners equate bulk junk with stress, we view removing it as providing relief for owners and opportunities for others. Since our team is well trained at removing large items from bookcases to beds and refrigerators, we can clean out a significant amount of junk in a short time.
 
Junk King owns several large trucks and dumpsters, allowing us to do business clean outs of any size. No matter how big the challege, we’re ready to help clear space for you.
 

Let Us Inspect Your Facility

 
The first step to bulk furniture removal at your facility is to contact Junk King and invite us over so we can inspect your site. We’ll be able to plan a seamless strategy for hauling all your unwanted items. Once we see where the junk is and how much there is to remove, we can determine how many trucks and staff members to bring.
 
We treat every removal job as a new experience, as it helps us develop new junk removal strategies. No matter how much furniture you want us to remove, even if it’s scattered over a large area or many rooms, we can do it. No item is too heavy for us to remove. In some cases we may dismantle a couch to make it easier to haul out. You won’t have to move anything.
 

Make New Space for Seniors

 
Your assisted living home complex should be comfortable for your residents and employees. When too much clutter slows down your progress, it helps to do inventory and decide which items need to go. The trend for big facilities is moving toward creating more open space to be more prepared for future disasters.
 
Crowded places increase liabilities and require more maintenance, especially at an assisted living facility. By moving out bulky furniture, you’ll be able to create a more spacious atmosphere, which alone will improve comfort and living conditions. Spacing furniture out more in new floor plans will create a safer environment for your senior community.
 
With more open space, you’ll be able to plan more social events for seniors, which is important for their well-being. A retirement community should be happy, not stressful. Adding more space allows conditions for a more relaxing environment. Wider passages will also create easier mobility, especially for seniors in wheelchairs.
