Summary

This study tests whether adding low, horizontal and vertical lights around bathroom and entry doorframes can help reduce nighttime falls in people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. About 335 assisted living residents with dementia will take part, with each person experiencing both the lights and a control period. The goal is to see if the lights make it easier to stay steady and avoid falls at night.
