Maybe, if me MUST "theme" every center, maybe use the various decades ? 50's culture, 6o's culture, 70' 80's, etc. I find Disney's Pop culture resort hotel interesting for the same reason, to might work here. Or, why not go through the "Florida culture" from the Native Americans, to the "crackers" with their cattle, Florida's authors like Marjory Rawlings, The Yearling ? The famous artists, The Highway Men ? But, dogs it is, so be it ! ?

I guess I mispoke. It's not really themes I hate. Some of your ideas are wonderful. It's the OVERDO! Tone it down! Make it simple and classy. And, remember that you are decorating for SENIOR CITIZENS. No childish cartoon decor. And, keep it comfortable and easily manueverable for those with medical conditions. I'm not quite at that age, but for the money spent, I'd rather have nice chairs that support my back and sturdy adjustable stools. I can live without life-size cut outs of Bogey and Bacall, or a fake watermelon stand. But, maybe some want those things for selfies.
Like you said, it is, what it is! Pastel blue dog wallpaper, cartoon dog tiles, dogs, dogs, and more dogs, as far as the eyes can see! Pretty soon, cats, cats, and more cats! Some residents will most likely want their favorite pet honored, as well. Do I hear a vote for horses? Alligators?
