Senior living and care operators are looking at ways to add wellness programming for residents, including red light therapy and scheduled wellness sessions. This overview covers how that programming can be organized and what to look for in equipment.
Where it fits
Red light therapy is a general wellness modality. It is not a treatment for any condition, and it does not replace care plans or medical advice. Operators typically position it as an optional amenity within a broader wellness program, with staff supervision. Residents with medical conditions should check with their care team before participating.
The integrated wellness programming model
- Scheduled wellness sessions built into resident weekly routines
- Coordination with existing therapy and activities staff
- Evening wellness sessions as part of the resident routine
- Family communication about the wellness programming offered
Equipment considerations for senior care
- Accessible positioning for residents with limited mobility
- Adapted controls for residents with cognitive impairment or limited dexterity
- Safety features including automatic timers, eye protection, and child-lock functions
- Mobile units for in-room sessions
- Cleaning and sanitation protocols appropriate for senior care environments
