Clean air in care homes

Improving indoor air quality is critical in care homes, especially to reduce airborne infections during the colder months when windows and doors are closed.

Portable HEPA air cleaners can play a valuable role in enhancing the health and safety of residents by minimising respiratory infections, including COVID-19, flu, and other airborne pathogens.

Key benefits of portable air cleaners

Proactive approach for future outbreaks
Care providers in the UK are increasingly turning to air filtration systems to manage ongoing risks from COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, creating safer environments for both staff and residents.

Reduction in airborne viruses and bacteria
HEPA filters are proven to remove 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns and virtually 100% of nano-particles including viruses and bacteria.

Enhanced ventilation in winter months
Guidance from the UK's Department of Health and Social Care highlights air purifiers as a viable alternative when ventilation options are limited, especially to prevent virus transmission while balancing thermal comfort.

HEPA filtration can reduce pathogens in care homes

Research shows that HEPA filtration in elderly care centres can reduce PM2.5 levels by 35% and cut airborne pathogens by 67%, helping to lower infection rates and create healthier spaces for residents.

Here's how it can make a difference to your care home...

Dining rooms have high occupancy rates and proximity to the kitchen resulting in high particulate matter and VOCs (airborne gases). Lounge areas and other shared spaces accumulate CO₂ and airborne pathogens.

  • The Blast or Blast Mini provides high-airflow filtration ideal for dining rooms and lounges, where particle buildup is common.

Private bedrooms, where residents spend long hours, will find that good indoor air will reduce respiratory risks.

  • The SA600 delivers quiet filtration in bedrooms, ensuring residents breathe cleaner, safer air while resting.
