What lounge seating features matter most for elderly care or nursing home common areas?

Seating for elderly care facilities requires: seat heights of 18–20 inches (higher than standard — easier to stand from without straining), firm seat cushions (soft seats are difficult to rise from), full arms that extend to the front of the seat (provides push-off leverage when standing), stable bases (no rocking, tipping, or casters unless lockable), antimicrobial or cleanable upholstery, and weight capacities of 300–500 lbs. Avoid: low-slung lounge chairs, deep soft cushions, backless benches, and any piece that doesn't provide good postural support. ADA-accessible design is legally required in Medicare/Medicaid-certified facilities. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
