How Retirement Homes are Utilizing Digital Signage

In today’s technologically advanced world, even retirement homes are embracing digital signage to improve the quality of life for their residents. This innovative approach to communication and engagement not only improves the daily experience of their residents, but also streamlines operations for staff. From displaying daily schedules and menus, to providing health tips and emergency alerts, digital signage offers a versatile and dynamic solution that meets the unique needs of senior living communities. Another integral part of this modern experience, are the digital signage brackets and tv mounts required for a seamless installation. The image above is utilizing our digital signage wall mounting bracket, a multi-functional tv wall mount that offers advanced tilt, and commercial grade tv bracket quality. 

Digital Menu Boards Benefit from Commercial Grade Brackets

Digital menu boards are not just for traditional restaurants; many retirement homes and long-term care facilities also benefit greatly from these convenient menu displays. These digital menus typically feature breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options, along with nutritional information for each choice. While they may not be as elaborate as the digital menus found in restaurants, they significantly streamline meal-time operations and free up staff to assist residents. There are two types of brackets that are commonly uses for digital menu boards: digital signage ceiling mounts, and digital signage wall mounts. Typically, a retirement home will select whichever bracket will best maximize their space, and fit their aesthetic best. Both options come with precision leveling and tilt features, ensuring that all residents and guests can view the digital menu display with ease. For installations that utilize ceiling mounting tv brackets, the adjustable height feature allows for further customization to ensure the perfect viewing angle and a seamless installation. 

Digital Signage Brackets Help Make Wayfinding Signage More Accessible

Retirement communities can be confusing for both residents and visitors, making digital wayfinding signage a popular choice in this industry. Interactive maps, usually located in lobbies and high-traffic areas, effectively assist both residents and guests. Additionally, wayfinding and directional signage provide an excellent opportunity to inform residents about ongoing maintenance, new facility features, or renovations. The most popular choice of signage mounting bracket for wayfinding displays are digital signage wall mounts, thanks to their precision leveling capabilities, easy tilt feature, and commercial grade durability. Some retirement homes, however, have had excellent success with our floor to ceiling digital signage mounts. These unique tv mounting brackets allow for adjustable height and modular configuration, enable residents, guests, and staff to move the displays as needed; for example, if a guest in a wheelchair needs a better view of your signage, a staff member can easily lower the screens for them.

Specialty Digital Signage Mounts Open Up New Possibilities

Signage Mounts offers a wide range of specialty digital signage brackets, such as our LG 110UM5J Wall Mount, that open up a world of new possibilities for many retirement homes. The 110UM5J is a large television screen that requires a special bracket, but is the perfect fit for common areas, exercise and entertainment rooms, and even cafeterias. Despite it’s large size, this specialty mount is fully capable of precision leveling, modular design, and even a full range of tilt options. Retirement homes who choose to utilize unique screens such as this one state that it becomes a focal point for their senior residents, especially those with lower vision. While a large screen and mount such as this one may seem daunting to install, these commercial grade tv brackets are designed to facilitate a quick, sturdy, and seamless installation every single time. 

Enabling Virtual Visits with Digital Signage

Many long term care facilities strongly encourage visits from friends and family members, which can be made much easier with digital signage. Growing in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, many retirement homes began utilizing commercial grade digital signage brackets to mount residents in-room televisions. Thanks to the built in tilt and leveling features, these brackets enabled a resident’s television to be a hub for virtual visitations and meetings. Additionally, the commercial grade materials and modular design ensure the longevity of every installation, and allow the screens to double as digital signage when necessary (announcements, etc). The most popular bracket choice for this type of installation is our wall mounting signage bracket, but floor to ceiling brackets and ceiling brackets are also popular choices. 

Video Wall Brackets Enhance the Common Room Experience

Digital signage is a common focal point in many retirement home common rooms, entertainment rooms, and even lobbies. One of the most popular styles of displays are digital video walls, which are mounted using our digital video wall brackets. Not only do these digital signage installations create a dynamic ambience, but they can be programmed to display entertaining content such as tv, movies, landscapes, or even important announcements. Artistic and creative installations, like the one featured in the picture below, are possible thanks to the dynamic nature of these video wall brackets. Not only are these brackets capable of advanced tilt, but they are completely modular in nature – in other words, you can use as many or as little screens as possible, and the video wall mounts can adapt to any space.
