Up to 75-85% of nursing home residents suffer from dementia, which often leads to restlessness, purposeless wandering, and agitation. At the same time, far too many elderly with dementia are given antipsychotic medication due to psychological symptoms and behavioral changes. This is an area of focus for regional authorities, aiming to reduce the use of such medication in nursing homes.
Wavecare’s sensory stimulation is designed to create calm and security for residents and support an optimal circadian rhythm with reduced agitation.
In geriatric care, Wavecare sensory technology is used both in residents’ private rooms and in communal areas, where controlled sensory stimuli help establish a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.
A nursing home in Denmark had a reduction on emergency readiness and on-call shifts by nearly 30% (29.4%) using Wavecare - equivalent to 175 hours per month.
Studies show significant decrease in agitation and wandering among residents, along with a generally improved well-being.
The Wavecare Sensory Room is a sensory technology solution with lighting control and audiovisual stimulation in a user-friendly design, making it easy to use for residents, staff, and relatives alike.
Wavecare sensory technology offers multiple solutions, making it easy to adapt for private rooms or common areas.
Sounds, lights, and natural scenes are arranged in themes for complete synergy but can also be used individually.
It assists residents, particularly those with dementia, in achieving calm and balance in their nervous systems.
Wavecare sensory technology enables individualized stimulation tailored to preferences, situations, and needs.
The system focuses on calming natural scenes, music, and lighting settings that support a harmonious and secure environment.
Wavecare sensory stimulation helps residents in the following way:
Wavecare stationary installation in common areas and Wavecare Mobile System solutions are highly regarded by the geriatric staff as tools for improving communication with residents and reducing agitated behavior and purposeless wandering.
It’s intuitive design makes it easy to use, allowing staff to focus on core tasks while residents and relatives enjoy the calming effects of the themes.
Additionally, the stationary installation contributes to improved well-being among caregivers, as evidenced by reduced sick leave and an improved work environment.

“The change from before to now is that we can get the residents to calm down more quickly. I feel that all the residents have benefited from it, including myself. It’s a completely different atmosphere in the group now compared to before.”
– Anita Udengaard Thejl, social and healthcare assistant
“Specifically, it has created calm. It has created calm for some specific residents and within the staff group. When the staff are calm, the residents are calm as well. I’m most surprised by the effect it has had on the staff, making them almost in a zen state when they come in. I’m sure it has also played a role in reducing sick leave.”
– Majbritt Tillgreen Jensen, daily manager
