Senior Living Podiums & Lecterns

For senior, assisted & independent living

A lectern residents can hear from the back of the room.

A senior living community uses its podium for Sunday services in the chapel, the monthly resident council, family nights, memorial services, and the activity calendar in between. The lecterns on this page were picked with hearing in mind: sound lecterns with built-in speakers and wireless mics so residents at the back of the dining room can follow, plus hardwood lecterns that suit a chapel and aluminum podiums on casters that staff can move.

What senior, assisted, and independent living communities order most:

  • The ZED sound lectern with built-in amplification for resident meetings and services
  • The Royal and the Conquest hardwood lecterns for the chapel
  • The VH1 and H2 aluminum podiums on casters for the multipurpose room
  • The metal truss cross-design lectern for communities that want a chapel piece on a budget

Every order ships free in the lower 48. Send your community logo as a vector file and we'll apply it and send a proof before production. Nonprofit communities can send a tax-exempt certificate with the order.

Common questions

What podium works for a senior living community?
Most communities order a sound lectern like the ZED so residents can hear from the back of the dining room, plus a hardwood lectern like the Royal or the Conquest for the chapel. Communities with one multipurpose room usually pick a sound lectern in a wood finish that does both.
Do you have a lectern for the chapel?
Yes. The hardwood lecterns are used in chapels every day, and the metal truss cross-design lectern is a lighter option. If the chapel wants a traditional pulpit, see the church furniture range.
Can staff move the lectern between rooms?
Yes. The contemporary aluminum podiums like the VH1 and the H2 are on casters, and the T-40 portable speaker stand folds down for storage between events.
Can you apply our community's logo?
Yes. Applied logos are available on most hardwood, aluminum, and acrylic models. Send a vector file (.eps, .ai or .pdf) and we'll send a proof before production.
How is the podium delivered?
Free in the lower 48. Larger podiums come by freight on a pallet, fully assembled, and we'll confirm the community's receiving arrangements before it ships.
