IAQ Impact Research Shows:

Peer-reviewed defaults — adjust to reflect your facility's experience.

3%

Poor air quality drives prospect departures before a lease is signed. Industry avg: 3–5% (McKnight's).

5

Airborne pathogens in recirculated HVAC air increase respiratory illness among staff. 3–6 days avg (CDC).

2%

Health environment concerns contribute to early departures. Industry avg: 2–4% (NIC MAP).

UV-C Improves Air Quality to Help Recover:

Lower the sliders to be conservative. These are your facility's levers.

Peer-reviewed research documents HAI reduction of 70–90% in occupied facilities with UV-C.1,2 You don't have to take our word for it.

50%

UV-C eliminates coil bio-burden — the root cause of that unmistakable facility odor that costs tours. Default is conservative.

70%

Cleaner air means healthier staff. Reduction in respiratory sick days documented across UV-C installations. Consistent with 70–90% HAI literature.

60%

Families choose facilities where residents thrive. A provably healthier environment is a retention advantage you can document.

You can be the person who finally fixed the air. Most UV-C systems fall within a facility's direct-purchase budget — no bid process, no board approval required. In most cases, the first year of operational recovery alone covers the full investment.

Methodology & Sources
  • Tour & Lease Loss: (Total Beds × % Missed) × Monthly Fee × 12. Odor is a leading driver of tour failures in senior living (McKnight's Senior Living).
  • Staff Absenteeism: Avg hourly wage × 8 hrs × excess days × 1.5 overhead factor. Defaults from CDC Workplace Absenteeism Data.
  • Resident Retention: (Total Beds × % Premature Move-Outs) × Monthly Fee × 3 months estimated lost revenue (NIC MAP).
  • UV Recovery: Each slider applies a % reduction to its corresponding cost category. Figures are estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.
  • Staff default (30): Industry standard for 80-bed AL — care, dietary, housekeeping, activities, administration (AHCA/NCAL).
