Fragrance system in nursing homes: An added value for residents and employees

A fragrance system in a care home is much more than just a nice extra - it contributes significantly to the well-being of the residents and the working atmosphere of the staff. Pleasant scents can create a relaxed, friendly environment that is of great importance not only for the residents, but also for the care staff and visitors. In this blog post, we will look at the advantages of a fragrance system in the care home and why it makes sense to integrate this option.

1. Pleasant atmosphere for residents

The atmosphere in a nursing home has a major impact on the quality of life of the residents. Many elderly people spend a large part of their time indoors, which is why the indoor climate is crucial to giving them a feeling of security. A well-coordinated fragrance system can help:

• Promote relaxation and well-being : Scents such as lavender or sandalwood are known to have a calming effect. They help to relax residents, reduce anxiety and promote general well-being.

• Pleasant smells instead of unpleasant smells : Medical or care-related smells can occur in care facilities that can be stressful for residents and staff. A fragrance system can neutralize unpleasant smells and replace them with pleasant, gentle scents that create a welcoming atmosphere.

2. Improving working conditions for nursing staff

A fragrance system offers clear advantages not only for the residents, but also for the nursing staff. In an environment where high demands are placed on employees every day, a pleasant fragrance helps to improve the working atmosphere and reduce stress:

• Increase wellbeing : Caregivers often spend long hours in the facilities. Pleasant scents can increase wellbeing and help staff feel more comfortable. A scent such as white tea can create a fresh, pleasant atmosphere that has a positive effect on caregivers' mood.

• Increase your attractiveness as an employer : In times of a shortage of skilled workers, it is important to position yourself as an attractive employer. A scent system can be an element that shows that the establishment values a pleasant working environment, which in turn can help with the recruitment of new employees.

3. Create a feel-good atmosphere for visitors

Visitors, such as relatives of residents, should also feel comfortable when they come to the care facility. The first impression is crucial. A pleasant scent that is perceived when entering helps visitors feel welcome and associate the facility with positive feelings.

Fragrances such as Oils of Paradise or Santal can create a warm, inviting atmosphere that supports the well-being of both residents and visitors.

4. Evoke emotions and memories through scents

Our sense of smell is closely linked to the limbic system in the brain - the part responsible for emotions and memories. This is why scents have a special ability to evoke memories and create an emotional connection. For older people in care facilities, a familiar scent can evoke positive memories and promote well-being. This contributes to the emotional stability and satisfaction of the residents.
