Improve your care environment

New, revolutionary lighting - ‘Circadian Plus’ by amBX will transform your care home, providing elite benefits. Research has proven that circadian lighting, which supports human’s natural 24-hour rhythm is beneficial for improved sleep patterns, mood and general wellbeing.

Therefore, helping to reduce residents' agitation levels, encouraging a better sleep pattern and allowing them to feel more in tune with natural daylight; in turn, this can lead to a whole host of mental and physical health benefits. In addition to this, if employees are happier at work, have improved sleep patterns and most importantly feel that their employer cares about their wellbeing, then it is going to have a positive impact on retention levels.

The installation of this revolutionary system can set you apart from the competition, improving standards, reputation and therefore ratings.

As the human body ages, both day and night vision deteriorates. Moreover, light can often cause confusion if there is a glare or an unusual pattern. This is heightened when a person suffers from some sort of cognitive condition, such as dementia, which The Alzheimer’s Society reports around 80% of care home residents experience. The correct lighting can reduce distress and disorientation as well as on a more basic level minimising risks of trips or falls.

A recent install in Ashmere Care Homes’ Heanor Park has been a great success. They are now using amBX circadian lighting to manage precision-controlled LED lighting on a 24-hour cycle throughout all rooms and resident areas. In addition, staff and residents have noticed a distinct difference in the lighting and the mood around the care home.

amBX Circadian Plus is uniquely equipped to deliver an energy-efficient, sophisticated lighting experience in every room - without complex programming. The timing, intensity and colour of light can be easily controlled. Circadian Light-Scenes can also be used in conjunction with standard dimmable lighting as well as variable white lights and full colour-spectrum LEDs.

Maintaining or improving reputation, ratings and standards, recruiting and retaining staff, managing costs and ensuring your residents get the best standard of care are all critical challenges when running a care home. At amBX our aim is to make your life easier, helping to solve these challenges.

Creating the future of wellbeing in the care home environment.
