Transforming Assisted Living Environments with Biophilic Design at Platinum Resort – Georgetown, TX

How mobile green walls are reshaping comfort, privacy, and atmosphere in senior living communities

When it comes to elevating senior living environments, greenery isn’t just décor—it’s emotional architecture. At Platinum Resort Assisted Living in Georgetown, TX, we partnered with their team to introduce Foliascreen mobile green walls that soften common areas, enhance privacy, and create a more calming, dignified atmosphere for residents and their families.

This installation shows how biophilic design can completely transform the feel of healthcare-adjacent spaces—without the burden, cost, or risk of maintaining live plants.

Why Biophilic Design Matters in Assisted Living

In senior living communities, the environment shapes mood, comfort, and well‑being. Residents and families want spaces that feel home-like, warm, and human—not clinical.

Mobile green walls offer:

Instant greenery without allergens or plant maintenance
Visual softness and a more residential aesthetic
Flexible space-making tools for staff
A natural, calming focal point residents gravitate toward

But here’s the truth: creating a biophilic solution that meets both design and operational needs in assisted living is a complex challenge. From ADA pathways to infection control requirements, every detail matters.

The Challenge Behind the Transformation

Platinum Resort Assisted Living needed a solution that could:

Soften high-traffic corridors and gathering spaces
Improve privacy without building permanent walls
Add warmth and greenery without watering or replacement cycles
Meet strict healthcare durability and cleanability standards
Remain fully mobile as floor plans and resident needs evolve

The goal wasn’t just decoration—it was to create a calm, comforting, flexible environment where residents feel dignified and connected.

How the Foliascreen Mobile Green Wall Solution Works

To meet these needs, UPScapers designed and installed a series of Foliascreen mobile green walls throughout the community’s reception area, family visitation zones, and transitional corridors.

Design elements that make it work:

Mobile green wall screens that define seating areas and create semi-private nooks
Ultra-realistic, UV-stable artificial foliage with a lush, residential feel
Modular configurations so staff can reposition screens for activities, holidays, or shifting resident flow
Commercial-grade, healthcare-friendly materials that are easy to disinfect and built for daily use

These aren’t decorative panels—they’re functional tools that transform the flow and emotional tone of the space.

The Implementation Process

Designing for senior living requires collaboration and precision. Our process included:

Design review with leadership and care staff to prioritize zones that needed softness and privacy
Space planning focused on ADA compliance, clear sightlines for staff, and safety for residents who may have mobility challenges
Creating “rooms” within open corridors, giving families more intimate and comfortable places to gather
Phased, low-disruption installation, with most work completed during quiet hours to respect residents’ routines

Every detail was planned to support safety, comfort, and everyday practicality.

The Results: A Noticeable Shift Within Weeks

After installation, Platinum Resort Assisted Living reported transformative improvements across the community:

A more welcoming, calming atmosphere

Residents described the space as “warm,” “home-like,” and “relaxing,” replacing the formerly stark, institutional feel.

Improved privacy without construction

Mobile green walls created comfortable pockets for family conversations—without the cost or permanence of building out walls.

Zero-maintenance greenery

Staff enjoy the emotional benefits of nature without watering, trimming, or replacing plants, freeing up time for resident care.

Operational flexibility

Screens can be reconfigured instantly for activities, seasonal needs, or changes in resident flow—preserving both adaptability and budget.

Why This Approach Works in Senior Living

Biophilic design tailored for elder care
Residents benefit emotionally from natural cues while staff benefit operationally from low maintenance and clear sightlines.

Modular, mobile systems
Green walls become long-term assets that evolve with the community rather than locking them into a rigid layout.

Durable, healthcare-ready materials
The system withstands high-traffic environments and meets cleaning protocols—without losing its beauty over time.
