The Science - How Do Murals Improve the Quality of Life in Senior Care and Dimentia Residents??
In a Long Term Care (LTC) Environment, every detail matters. What seems like a simple hallway to a healthy mind can seems like a confusing and stressful maze to someone living with any form of cognitive decline or Alzheimer's disease.
Historically, senior living facilities have relied on clinical, sterile and uniform looking corridors and spaces. However, modern neurological and environmental research shows that investing in Environmental Design - specifically the strategic and creative use of wall murals and decals, functions as a powerful, and non-pharmacological therapy.
At RB & Co., we aim to stimulate fond memories from a resident's youth or early adulthood to improve mood, cognition and social engagement. Research shows that while short term memory fades in dmentia, long term memories remain intact much longer.
Our Large Reminicence Murals, such as our 1950's and 1960's Retro Kitchen, or Vintage Storefronts, or a beautiful and country classic, or nature landcape, can act as vital visual anchors.
Cultureally Inclusive, Custom Designs
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to cultural inclusivity. We know that memory care is not "one size fits all". Because long term memories are tied deeply to a person's heritage and early life, we custom-design our work to reflect your specific resident demographic (particularly with our Resident Door Wraps).
Whether your facility requests nostalgic Canadian Landscapes, vibrant Carribean style door, faux tropical window views, or serene Tuscan Countryside scenes - we build it to order.
100% Canadian Made and Facility Ready
We are proudly 100% Canadian made, and we work quickly, to deliver and install directly to your facility - often within a matter of days, ensuring minimal disruption to your residents and staff.
