Wavecare soothes and promotes social interaction in nursing homes

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.

What the staff say about Wavecare

“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
