Nursing Care Facilities The Sensor Light can be directly distributed to providing facilities such as nursing homes, in which it can be used to increase the level of care and protection that these establishments provide.
Of the 2.487 million home healthcare recipients, 72.2 percent are senior citizens, 87.5 percent of whom require mobility assistance devices in their personal transport. The Sensor Light can allow these facilities to improve the protection they provide to their patients, and this improved safety can actually reduce the risk and liability of these establishments.
