To keep clean
and safe, to create comfortable space for elderly people
A user's case
of an elderly care house...CalmCourt
In Japan, a new insurance of the elderly care started in 2000. The times
when Japanese society is composed largely of elderly people has come. However,
the foundation of the age, such as the pension system and the health insurance
system, with serious financial crisis and decrease of the average of the birth
rate, has faced a critical situation. Under this situation, elderly care houses
and a social system that can care for elderly people in a local area are needed
far more than before. |

The elderly care house, CalmCourt,
is located in a residential area, 20 km apart from the centre of Tokyo.
Near the house, there are companies' grounds and temples, so there remain
rich green fields. More than 50 people live in the house and they are cared
for by house staffs and medical staffs 24 hours. |

It is very difficult to keep such a care house clean and comfortable.
For elder people and babies the danger from viruses and food poisoning
is more serious than for people in working ages. In winter season, many
elderly people are killed by influenza. Clean and safe are most important
points for these houses. There are many places where a deodorising and
sterilising system is needed, such as kitchens, rest rooms, bathrooms,
wet diaper disposal places, laundry rooms and bed linen rooms. Especially
after use in the wet diaper disposal place, the deodorising function works
extremely well after only 5 minutes.

The advantage of a SaniCom system
in this house is its size and weight. As the budget of the household is
very tight, they cannot afford to hold many systems. However, staffs can
carry a SaniCom system to everywhere in the house, and they can use one
system in many places. |
