A new director of Senior Services is changing the physical environment of our center by changing the furniture, wall hangings cupboards etc. without any input from the senior center members. We feel that this is inappropriate and invasive and and diminishes our decision making in the process. What can we do this situation? Do we have the right to arrange the furniture and decorations to suit our needs or can the agency come in and make these decisions.
I understand that familiarity is important to many but, in the bigger scheme of things, the condition of the furnishings is pretty important, too. To you it may look homey and familiar, to someone new (and it's very important to keep attracting new residents/members), it may just look tired or even shabby.
