Nursing Homes and Care Homes
Overly dry air in care homes can make the residents seem even older
Everyone wishes the residents of care and nursing homes a long and comfortable life. However, if the relative humidity is either too high or too low it can affect the comfort and health of the residents, staff, and visitors alike.
The elderly have more energy with the right humidity
CAPACITY
The air in care homes in often very dry, being caused by a combination of the warm indoor temperatures and regular (artificial) ventilation. This means that the elderly and those with already fragile immune systems are more at risk of eye and skin irritations, as well as being more susceptible to viruses that spread more easily in the drier air.
Our humidification systems can solve this problem, helping the elderly to stay healthy and active for longer.
Reduced eye and skin irritations
Fewer sore, scratchy throats
More protection provided by efficient mucus membranes
Increased comfort for the lungs and airways
Less dust (asthma sufferers)
Not just better for ‘grandma and grandad’
COMFORT
Dry air doesn’t just affect the residents, but also the staff and visitors. Asthma sufferers and people wearing contact lenses will be acutely aware when the relative humidity is too low. Care workers and staff who are regularly in the building may also suffer from dry eyes, dry skin, and scratchy throats. Dry air also weakens the immune system.
