EFA 2026 Phoenix: Plan Proven Fall-Impact Protection Into Your Facility Remodel Build

Senior living teams don’t need another product that sounds great on paper but falls apart in the real world. If you’re planning a remodel, a corridor refresh, or a new facility build, you’re balancing a lot at once: resident safety, mobility and comfort, design goals, infection control, durability, and the realities of construction schedules.

That’s exactly where Magic Shields wall-to-wall flooring fits—and why we’re bringing it to Environments for Aging (EFA) 2026 in Phoenix. Come see us at Booth #448.

Why underfoot protection is part of the conversation now

Falls are a persistent reality in senior living and memory care. Prevention strategies are essential—but even strong programs can’t eliminate every fall. That’s why many communities are also looking at the environment itself: what can be designed in, renovated in, or specified in to help reduce harm outcomes.

Underfoot solutions matter because they don’t rely on behavior change. They’re simply there—working in resident rooms, corridors, and common spaces where risk and traffic are constant.

What we’re featuring at EFA 2026: wall-to-wall flooring

At this show, our emphasis is Magic Shields wall-to-wall flooring—built for communities that want a permanent, facility-wide approach rather than point solutions.

About Us.

Here’s what we’ll help explain at the show:

• Where it fits best: resident rooms, memory care neighborhoods, corridors, and other high-traffic zones
• How it supports daily mobility: what it feels like underfoot, how it performs with walkers/wheelchairs, and what to consider for transitions
• How to plan the project: what timelines look like, what coordination is needed, and what “good planning” looks like on the owner/operator side

Yes, it requires a site visit—and that’s a good thing

Wall-to-wall installations aren’t something you want to “guess” on. To do this correctly, Magic Shields starts with a site visit so we can measure, confirm conditions, and plan the install around your space—not a generic template.

That hands-on step helps us:

• catch the details that can slow projects down (transitions, thresholds, layouts, traffic patterns) before they become surprises
• coordinate cleanly with your Architect / GC / design team
• build an install plan that’s realistic for your schedule
• keep downtime minimal and predictable, because everyone knows what’s happening and when

About downtime: coordinated, not chaotic

Unlike mats, wall-to-wall flooring is an installed solution—so yes, there is downtime involved. The key is that it can be planned.

Most communities coordinate installation with:

• a scheduled remodel (room turns, wing-by-wing refreshes, phased projects)
• a new construction timeline (specified early, installed at the right stage)

In other words: this isn’t about disruption. It’s about aligning safety improvements with the work you’re already doing.

Mats are still available (and still useful)

We’ll also have Magic Shields mats at the show—because some teams need targeted protection in specific areas, or want a smaller pilot while longer-term renovation plans take shape.

Let’s talk at Booth #448

If you’re attending EFA 2026, stop by Booth #448. Bring your floor plan questions, renovation schedule, or “where would we even start?” concerns. We’ll keep it practical and help you map the right next step.

Two ways to move forward after EFA

• Book time at EFA: a quick, focused conversation at Booth #448 about your facility type, timeline, and priority areas
• Request a site visit: if wall-to-wall flooring is on the table, we’ll coordinate measurement and discuss what an install plan could look like alongside your remodel or new build
