Creating a safe and supportive environment with correct lighting for Aged Care

In aged care facilities, lighting is far more than a functional necessity; it's a critical factor influencing the health, safety, and overall quality of life for residents and staff. As we age, our sensitivity to light changes and proper lighting becomes vital.

From promoting better sleep, reducing falls, enhancing mood, improving cognitive function, the right lighting can transform the lives of aged care residents.

“...worked in close collaboration on the project, briefed by Mercy Health to create an innovative look and feel as a multi-level healthcare organisation. The lighting design was formed by Versalux to stay in line with the architect’s creative vision, the motives behind the lighting design and architecture of the facility was to ensure that the elderly residents’ medical treatment, their physical needs, physiological moods, and general well-being were the priority through the use of natural and artificial light.”

Revolutionising Aged Care with MelaGen® - scientific technology that supports health and the circadian rhythm

MelaGen® technology is particularly important in aged care facilities due to its potential to significantly improve the quality of life for residents. As aged care residents are often indoors around the clock, their circadian rhythms become disrupted and lead to sleep problems, and increased agitation.

MelaGen® technology has the ability to emit both blue-enriched and blue-depleted light at specified times of day, which helps regulate these natural body rhythms, promoting better sleep patterns and overall wellbeing for older adults.

Light that shapes mood, sleep, and well being

In aged care settings, where residents may have limited exposure to natural light, MelaGen® can play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy 24-hour light-dark cycle. This is especially beneficial for those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, who often experience severe circadian rhythm disturbances. By providing the right type of light at the appropriate times, MelaGen® can potentially reduce sleep disturbances, improve mood, and enhance cognitive function among residents.

Studies have shown a significant reduction in falls (43%) in aged care facilities using circadian lighting, with the majority of the reduction in falls occurring at night. Read more on this study here.

MelaGen® benefits for staff

Additionally, MelaGen® Active in staffed areas only, may help staff members remain more alert during night shifts and reduce symptoms of fatigue, contributing to better care and safety for the residents.
