Senior living air quality starts with the spaces your residents and team share.
Bring continuous monitoring, Health Index insights, ICON purification and ventilation control into one plan for your community.

Senior living air quality.
Clear next steps.
Residents need comfortable spaces. Caregivers need reliable workplaces. Operators need a clear view of conditions and costs. Start with the air.
Respiratory protection
Improve air quality
in senior living.
RSV and flu can cause pneumonia, hospitalization and death in older adults. Residents with heart or lung conditions face added risks.1
ICON filters room air through carbon pre-filtration, an enclosed UV treatment chamber and ULPA filters. Filtration captures airborne particles, including particles that can carry viruses and bacteria.2
- Plan coverage for dining halls, lounges and activity rooms.
- Match airflow and device count to each room.
- Keep air inlets clear and filters maintained.
Air cleaning supports infection control. Keep required ventilation, vaccination and clinical precautions in place.

Track air quality
in senior living.
Research shows a correlation between long-term PM2.5 exposure and higher dementia risk. Much of the large-scale evidence concerns outdoor pollution. It does not show that indoor monitoring or purification prevents dementia.3
Flair continuously monitors fine particles and other configured air-quality parameters. Follow the trends, investigate recurring sources and check conditions after a response.
Flair measures air conditions. Particle counts do not identify pathogens.

ThinkLite Health Index
Air readings.
Meaning for your team.
Flair measures indoor air. The Health Index interprets those readings through health-oriented categories, helping care and facilities teams discuss changing conditions.
Use Airlytics® to review the room, time period and measurements behind a change. Investigate, take action and check again.
Not a resident health assessment.
From context to a next step
Choose an area to explore.
Start with a particle change.
Check when and where levels rose. Review room activity, filtration and airflow, then compare readings after corrective work.
Look beyond a single reading.
Review longer-term particle trends. Investigate recurring sources and compare conditions after action. Use the findings to guide building decisions.
Keep the wider picture in view.
Review particles, temperature and humidity with facilities staff. Maintain required ventilation and infection-control measures, then follow up on the readings.
- Review readings
- Investigate
- Check again
Illustrative guidance · environmental context, not a diagnosis
Health Index categories are calculated environmental indicators. They do not measure organ function or diagnose illness.

Care for the people
who provide the care.
Staff illness can leave shifts uncovered, increase overtime and add agency staffing costs. Include staff rooms, handover areas and shared workspaces in your air-quality plan.
Give care and facilities teams a clear response to air-quality alerts. Track sick days, overtime and agency hours to assess operational value.
Staffing and retention benefits are outcomes to evaluate, not guaranteed results of air cleaning.

Keep the safeguards.
Confirm which spaces permit DCV. Preserve minimum outdoor airflow, pressure relationships and infection-control requirements.
Use the right signals.
CO₂ provides occupancy-related context, not a headcount. Review it with occupancy information, other air readings and outdoor conditions.
Verify the return.
Estimate ROI using installation, service costs and utility rates. Verify energy savings against a metered baseline, adjusted for weather, occupancy and operating changes.
BACnet, Modbus, MQTT and API options depend on the deployment. Savings depend on the building and control strategy.
