Creating a healthy environment in aged care faciliities has never been so important. At RiteFlo, we understand that air quality and a mould-free environment within aged care facilities is extremely important given the nature of the vulnerable population under care.
Entre RiteFlo, a cost-effective self-propelled fan solution to ensure air flows continuously in aged care facilities. Our unique ventilation system is quiet, discreet and unobtrusive. It’s also easy to install for a qualified trades person. As RiteFlo ventilation fans are self-propelled, they have no running costs, which means they are a very cost effective way to provide year-round ventilation to aged care residents.
Proper Ventilation For Aged Care Homes
New research into the aggressive spread of COVID-19 throughout aged care homes suggests poor ventilation may be one of the factors contributing to the virus’ spread.
According to an August 2020 UTS article on research into Victorian nursing home air quality found that levels of carbon dioxide were triple that of the recommended safe level. Inadequate ventilation was identified as a contributor to viruses and pathogens spreading rapidly the facilities and putting at risk visitors, staff and residents.
Inadequate Aged Care Ventilation During The Winter Months
It is noted that many aged care facilities have their windows closed during winter to lower heating costs and prevent the risk of cold drafts coming through. However, in doing so, there is little ventilation in the cooler months within the home.
Inspectors noted that many large open spaces had very little ventilation, resulting in a build-up of odour and foul smells. Ventilation is crucial for keeping your residents healthy, comfortable, and feeling less like they’re in an enclosed space.
Better Air Quality With RiteFlo
Increased ventilation reduces the risk of mould and mildew growing inside nursing homes and aged care facilities. As the elderly are more prone to infections and illnesses, clean air through quality ventilation is essential for the well-being of residents and visitors – especially those with respiratory problems such as allergies and asthma.
How RiteFlo Ventilation Fans Can Help
RiteFlo self-propelled ventilation fans are constantly in motion, propelled by changes in air pressure between inside and outside the nursing home, without the need for electricity.
Self-Propelled
The beauty of having self-propelled fans is that they do not need turning on or off and run based on the slightest change in air/wind pressure. It is one less thing for staff members to remember or consider when going about their daily tasks.
Cost-Efficient
Running an aged care facility is costly particularly when considering all the necessary elements required to keep a home functioning. Windows are closed to keep the warm air in and to avoid using heaters which would contribute to an expensive electricity bill. Since RiteFlo’s ventilation fans require no ongoing costs to function and will last for up to 10-15 years if professionally installed, the money saved in electricity bills will be astronomical over the course of a decade using our ventilation system!
Extra Security
Keeping windows and doors open are a fantastic way to let fresh air in quickly, however, it compromises the safety of your residents. RiteFlo’s fans can be installed into the structure of the glass window or door, allowing for fresh air to flow through easily and regularly. Installing RiteFlo prevents intruders from lurking around open doors and windows, leaving your residents feeling at ease.
Multiple Locations to Be Installed
As noted above, the problem of high levels of CO2 arise from poor ventilation during the colder months due to the closed windows. RiteFlo have our very own window ventilation fan that allows fresh air in without the draft that you may get when opening a window. For larger areas such as common rooms and corridors, we have door, roof, and bathroom ventilation options. We have a solution for just about any room in your facility!
Silent Operation
No need for noisy, loud exhaust fans to achieve a ventilated space. Your residents won’t even notice the fans installed.
Keep Your Stored Items Fresh
There is nothing worse than mould or mildew growing in pantry cupboards. When under the trust and care of staff members, you want to ensure that your residents’ meals are fresh and uncontaminated. Riteflo’s ventilation fans remove stale air and replace it with fresh air, keeping moisture from building up and creating a mould breeding ground.
