No doubt about the lighting, and the affect it has!
But WHY don't care's just take the bother and put a simple nice low light warm light in there rooms? I do plus decorate it homely and always with flowers and plants. The affect of take him into this room every night at the nursing home and spend time there is VERY rewarding! Even the nurses feels happy to walk in there!
The use of infrared light has now been shown to improve both dementia and Parkinson’s symptoms in clinical trials in the USA. QUIETMIND Fdn. is expanding their free clinical trials so subjects can participate at home. More information www. Quietmindfdn.org or 610-940-0488
