Solutions for Elderly Care

Create a home environment for those who need your caring assistance

Residents in a nursing home are forced to spend the last stage of their lives in an environment adapted to their needs, but away from their beloved ones and their charming home.

Your healthcare facilities are designed to give your residents the best possible care and experience. KUMUX's lighting systems can help you improve your customer experience, by mimicking the changing rhythms of natural light indoors while accommodating the needs of a variety of spaces in assisted living facilities.

The suitable light for safety and residents' care

Elderly people usually have less access to natural light, because of their motor limitations. Their internal clocks become unbalanced when they are in nursing homes all day long. To promote the health of residents and workers and improve the quality of care provided by professionals, adequate artificial light is required throughout the day.

Warm light with low brightness should be used at night so that the patient's sleep is not perturbed at the same time that architectural elements are highlighted to help them with spatial orientation and navigation, avoiding falls.

Alzheimer's disease and sleep disturbances
Several diseases that affect seniors, such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia, are related to sleep disorders. The light that improves the circadian response can contribute to improving their quality of sleep and also their mood.
Visual acuity
Visual acuity
Due to the aged eye, the elderly people need more light for visual acuity than younger adults. They require the right light quantity for daily tasks, such as reading or cognitive training. However, glare should be avoided to a major extent since seniors are more sensitive to this light effect.

Since elderly care centers operate 24 hours a day, practitioners usually work rotating or overnight shifts. Work schedules like this are associated with sleep disorders and also increase the risk of developing other chronic health problems like breast cancer.
