A free display for a senior living community still requires inventory, accessible placement, staff support, and replenishment. The fixture is valuable only when residents can use it safely and independently.
Clarify what is included
- fixture ownership and return conditions
- opening inventory and power range
- freight, setup, labels, mirror, and replacement parts
- reorder minimums and lead times
- damage and credit rules
- conditions if the program is removed
Calculate the full program cost
Include landed inventory, setup, accessible space, staff maintenance, backstock, and the cost of missing powers. Compare with resident requests, utilization, reorders, and financial contribution where relevant.
Protect accessibility
Confirm fixture height, aisle clearance, label size, lighting, and mirror access from standing and seated positions before accepting the display.
Over-the-counter readers are not appropriate for every resident and are not a substitute for professional eye care.
