Senior Living
CUSTOM FURNITURE FOR SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES BUILT FOR COMFORT AND DAILY USE.
Dining room seating, lounge furniture, and common area pieces built for the demands of senior living environments. Made in Columbus, Ohio by Fortner.
SENIOR LIVING FURNITURE
HAS TO EARN IT’S PLACE
Senior living communities ask furniture to do a lot. Common areas, dining rooms, memory care lounges, and activity spaces see constant use by residents who need comfort, stability, and an environment that feels like home rather than a facility. The furniture has to perform practically and contribute to the feel of the community.
Fortner builds custom commercial furniture for senior living communities including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement communities. We work with healthcare-grade and residential-feel fabrics, custom sizing for accessibility requirements, and installs coordinated around resident schedules.
Built in Columbus, Ohio since 1929. We work with senior living operators, developers, interior designers, and facilities teams on projects from single community builds to multi-property portfolios.

THE FORTNER PROCESS
Five steps to a successful senior living project.
-
You approve the estimate and materials, and we get to work. Fabrics, finishes, and any COM materials are confirmed before production begins. No surprises down the line.
-
Our team comes to your property and takes precise measurements. Every dimension is verified on site before a single cut is made.
-
We produce detailed shop drawings for your review and sign-off. You see exactly what you're getting before it goes into production.
-
Once all materials are on hand and drawings are approved, your project moves into our Columbus shop. Foam, fabric, finishing. Built by hand, built to spec.
-
When production is complete, we coordinate delivery around your property's schedule and handle the install from start to finish.
