To care for an older adult is a complicated job. Getting
old is difficult for the person experiencing mental, and physical decline. Both,
caregivers and the elderly, face chronic stress in their everyday lives, and
this decreases their quality of life.
To manage stress is critical in senior residences as
it can accelerate the decline in the residents’ health. The use of aromatherapy
is an effective way to increase the comfort and well-being of everyone in the
care house.
Smells affect our nervous system. When a fragrance
enters our nose, it triggers a reaction from the olfactory nerve that signals
parts of the brain that control emotions, mood, and memory.
A pleasant smell can make you feel soothed and relaxed
right away. Adult people often experience a decline in their cognitive ability,
their memory is impaired, also their motor functions, and this makes them
nervous which can result in a speedy decline of their health.
Sense marketing has lots of benefits in nursing homes,
but essential oils derived from natural ingredients may pose an allergy risk
for elderly patients. At Fridman's Fragrances we know this, which is why our
catalog consists of synthetic fragrances that are absolutely safe for everyone.
We should not assume synthetic is bad, since many
natural things are even more harmful. The benefits of synthetic fragrances are
that they have minimal risk of allergic reactions.
There are many benefits associated with scensory marketing in nursing homes:
Better sleep.
Less
stress.
Improved digestion.
Increased appetite.
Reduced pain levels.
Reduced anxiety and depression.
Improved behavior caused by ailments like Alzheimer's.
These are just some examples of how aromatherapy is
beneficial for senior patients. But how do you implement it? Easy, by using
professional grade diffusers strategically placed around the residence which
helps achieve desired effects among the residents.
