Senior Living & Healthcare Flooring in the Twin Cities
HCAHPS scores are tied to cleanliness. State surveys are tied to fall prevention. Infection control protocols are tied to every surface in the building — including the floor. When it is time to replace flooring in an occupied senior living community, hospital wing, or memory care unit, the installation itself becomes a clinical risk: dust in HVAC systems, adhesive fumes in resident corridors, trip hazards at transition points, and the disruption of moving residents out of rooms that are their homes. ATR Floors has been installing and restoring flooring in Twin Cities senior living and healthcare for 30 years.

Why Senior Living & Healthcare Buyers Choose ATR
A flooring contractor working in a memory care unit must understand that unfamiliar noise, odors, and disruption cause measurable increases in agitation. Our process and our scheduling were built specifically for these environments.
Dust-Free Installation in Occupied Care
Chemical-first removal and profiling — no mechanical grinding, no airborne silica, no concrete dust migrating through HVAC into resident rooms. CSP 1–4 profiles without triggering OSHA Table 1 containment.
Slip-Resistant Per CMS & State Guidelines
Sheet vinyl, LVT, and tile systems that meet or exceed ASTM D2047 and ADA. We restore uneven slabs and trip hazards at transition points before new flooring, not after a surveyor flags them.
Antimicrobial Floor Systems
Healthcare-grade sheet vinyl with heat-welded seams, antimicrobial LVT, and sealed tile that eliminates grout-line bacteria harboring. The systems infection control teams specify, prepped to bond and perform.
After-Hours & Phased Installation
We phase by room, by corridor, by unit — overnight and weekends. Floors are walkable within 1–3 hours, so residents return to their rooms the same day or next morning.
Fall Prevention Through Slab Leveling
Older facilities carry decades of slab settlement, cracking, and joint movement. Precision leveling at 5,000+ psi compressive strength restores flatness before new flooring goes down.
Hazmat-Safe Removal
Pre-1985 buildings contain asbestos in VCT and mastic, and lead in paint. DeBOND and UnGLUED encapsulate and break adhesive bonds without generating airborne particles — reducing hazmat liability and containment cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We phase by room, by corridor, or by wing — working after-hours and on weekends when possible. The Clean Slate Process eliminates dust and toxic fumes, so residents in adjacent rooms are not exposed to construction byproducts. Floors are walkable within 1-3 hours, which means residents can return to their rooms the same day in most scopes.
Buildings constructed before 1985 may contain asbestos in vinyl tile and mastic, and lead in substrate coatings. Our chemical removal process (DeBOND and UnGLUED) encapsulates these materials and breaks the adhesive bond without grinding — eliminating airborne hazmat risk without the cost of full containment. We coordinate with your abatement team when full removal is required by regulation.
We spec and install systems that meet ASTM D2047 (static coefficient of friction), ADA accessibility guidelines, and CMS survey requirements for slip resistance. We also repair slab-level trip hazards at expansion joints and transitions — the deficiency most frequently cited in state surveys.
The Clean Slate Process uses biodegradable, low-odor chemistry instead of mechanical grinding. No silica dust, no toxic fumes, no forced-ventilation requirements. This keeps your HVAC system clean and your infection control program intact throughout the renovation.
ATR Floors is 100% woman-owned and qualifies for WBE (Women's Business Enterprise) supplier diversity programs. Many hospital systems, senior living networks, and healthcare procurement organizations maintain diversity spending targets — we can provide the documentation your procurement team requires.
