Disruptive nighttime events are one of the main reasons families turn to senior living. And poor sleep quality can begin a cycle of health deterioration, increasing fall risk and other negative health outcomes. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), those living with dementia are at a greater risk for sleep disturbances, with poor quality sleep impacting 25% of those with mild to moderate dementia and 50% of those with severe dementia. The issue only gets worse as the dementia progresses—taking an increased toll not just on those who’ve been diagnosed, but those caring for them as well.

So how can you assure families that you’ll help their loved ones get restful sleep—and reduce their risks—when they move into your communities? It starts with insights into and understanding of why sleep is being disrupted, as well as a clearer picture of potential risk. 

In this webinar, we discuss the etiology of sleep disturbances and analyze exclusive data about falls and risks overnight, including that the hours between 7 pm to 7 am have the highest likelihood of falls—and that 1 in 7 move-outs is fall-related.

We’ll be joined by guests from Cedarbrook Senior Living—Lauren Costigan, Director of Operations, and Colleen Irvin, Executive Director—who’ll share their experience and case study findings from nighttime data analysis. And we’ll explore how innovation is helping communities take control of several factors to reduce risk, increase safety, and improve resident outcomes. In addition, we’ll examine proven strategies that support better sleep for residents, empowering you to put families at ease about managing sleep disturbances for their loved ones when they’re considering a move into your communities.
