Your Trusted Source for Senior-Friendly Furniture Solutions
Furnished Living was founded in 2011 by Jennie Bucove after witnessing her father's struggles with poorly designed institutional furniture in his assisted living residence. Recognizing the critical need for furniture that enhances independence and dignity for older adults and individuals with dementia, we collaborated with gerontologist and interior designer Rosemary Bakker to create innovative solutions. Our patented designs, including the Independence Bed and Illuminating Night Table, address specific challenges such as fall prevention, mobility assistance, and social engagement while maintaining aesthetic appeal.With over 20 years of industry experience in media, finance, and education, our team combines deep expertise with compassionate design principles to redefine senior living spaces. We work closely with architects, designers, and care communities to ensure our evidence-based furniture meets the highest standards of functionality and safety. Our commitment to improving quality of life is reflected in client testimonials praising our ability to create environments that foster autonomy and meaningful connections for residents, families, and caregivers alike.
