Commercial flooring and surface care projects in occupied environments with high-risk populations - like seniors housing facilities and childcare centers - require intensive oversight. 

These uniquely sensitive settings demand a flooring partner who excels in delivering safe, quality solutions without disrupting daily operations.

Special Considerations

Environments housing vulnerable populations, including the elderly and young children, require an elevated level of care during any renovation or installation project:

  • Continuous Occupancy: Projects must progress without relocating residents or interrupting the structured routines or schedules
  • Enhanced Safety Measures: With populations that are more susceptible to hazards, every detail from the installation technique to the choice of materials must prioritize safety to prevent accidents and ensure a secure environment

These factors underscore the importance of choosing the right partner for flooring solutions.

  • Vetted and Respectful Workers: Diverzify ensures that all team members interacting within these sensitive environments are not only skilled but also trustworthy and respectful. Our staff undergoes rigorous background checks and safety training.
