Nursing homes and residential care facilities have a critical responsibility to protect their most vulnerable residents. Falls among nursing home residents can be catastrophic — and floor slipperiness is a major contributing factor. Anti-slip treatment for nursing home floors is an essential safety investment.
The Stakes Are Highest in Nursing Homes
Nursing home residents are typically elderly, often with mobility impairments, cognitive decline, or medication effects that increase fall risk. A fall in a nursing home can result in hip fracture, head injury, or death. Nursing homes also face serious regulatory and legal consequences following resident fall incidents.
Regulatory Requirements for Nursing Home Safety
Under Indian regulations for residential care facilities and old age homes, operators have specific obligations to maintain safe environments. Regular floor safety assessment and maintenance — including anti-slip treatment — is an expected standard of care.
Priority Areas for Anti-Slip Treatment
Bathrooms and toilet areas (highest risk — most falls occur here), corridors leading to bathrooms (walked at night without full alertness), dining room floors, physiotherapy and rehabilitation areas, outdoor garden paths and covered walkways.
Working Sensitively in Care Environments
Oxon Technology understands the unique environment of nursing and care facilities. Our teams work quietly, efficiently, and sensitively. Treatment can be applied room by room, working around resident schedules to minimise disruption.
The Return on Investment for Care Facilities
Every resident fall incident costs a nursing home in staff time, medical costs, incident reporting, potential regulatory action, and reputation. Anti-slip treatment typically costs less than the management cost of a single serious fall incident.
