Summary
This study tests whether adding low, horizontal and vertical lights around bathroom and entry doorframes can help prevent nighttime falls in people with Alzheimer's or related dementias living in assisted living. About 335 residents will take part, and researchers will compare how many falls happen with the lights on versus off over one year. The goal is to see if these simple visual cues make it safer for residents to get up at night.
