Assisted or Senior Living
Peaceful ambiance for seniors.
Assisted living facilities covers a wide variety of establishments. Some facilities cater to the elderly and sickly who need constant, round the clock care. In these cases the ambiance is more practical, but caters to providing a tranquil environment for the elderly and a welcoming and inviting environment for their guests. Other facilities cater to the higher functioning elderly who are capable of almost complete self-care but need help from time to time by staff. In these cases, the ambiance is aimed more towards providing an active and worthwhile environment so that they may grow old with fulfilling stimuli and activities.
Regardless of the form of aged care facility, ambience plays an instrumental role in helping curate an effective and satisfying environment for their residents. The elderly in need of a calming and relaxing environment can greatly benefit from the comforts specialized scents have to offer, while their family and friends will have an easier time visiting them with welcoming scents to encourage them and make their experience a little more memorable and pleasant. However, the active elderly also benefit from scents designed to be exhilarating and motivating, as it keeps them active and healthy for a longer period of time.
Many guests are dissuaded from visiting their elderly friends or family as the environment may sometimes be seen as gloomy. Ambient scents changes that narrative.
Ambiance scenting for everyone.
Aged care centers that have a wide array of residents and needs can benefit from mobile diffusers. These devices can be moved with ease at a moment’s notice. They can be placed in a room where you would like the scent to permeate, while other rooms are unaffected. This technology is particularly helpful with regard for the elderly, as some may experience sensitivity to some scents or may be particularly fussy about their scents. This allows customization with ease for the ultimate sense of control and comfort.
