2020-11-10 08:24:34 PM cchase As people age, their eyes also undergo changes. The lens and cornea begin to yellow and darken, and the pupils shrink in size. The aging eye also changes to have a high degree of light scatter as cataracts form, and the field of vision becomes limited. For this reason the colors that are chosen for the elderly should remove any yellowing and brightness since the eyes of a 60-year-old can only filter a third of someone age 20.
2020-11-10 08:24:37 PM priyab yes, black is gloomy
2020-11-10 08:24:43 PM desiraes yellow reminds me of sunshine, sunshine makes us happy
2020-11-10 08:25:14 PM priyab yes, yellow is summer too
2020-11-10 08:25:25 PM cchase Elderly persons may have difficulty distinguishing between colors. They need three times the amount of light to see, but are sensitive to glare. Colors such as red, green, yellow or blue will appear muted to the elderly eye. Colors should be used that provide a high contrast, such as white plates and a dark colored table cloth. Chair seats should contrast with the floor to make the edge of the chair more visible. The same is true for bathroom fixtures contrasting with walls and the floor so they are very visible.
2020-11-10 08:25:25 PM abigailgearhart wow that is very interesting

2020-11-10 08:27:05 PM cchase When people age they may experience feelings of loneliness and fearfulness. Using colors that are warm and promote security and harmony are important.

2020-11-10 08:27:47 PM cchase When painting walls and decorating a room the colors that are used can have a positive effect on the mind and mood of elderly populations. Using a variety of colors can keep cognitive abilities functioning. Using soft blues, violets and lavender can make the elderly person connect to a spiritual or reflective mood.

2020-11-10 08:28:57 PM cchase Softer shades of red or orange will help improve energy levels and circulation. Peach color, warm tans and apricot, terra cota and pink work well with elderly eyes. Studies done in nursing homes show that soft pinky-beiges contrasted with soft blue/greens were peaceful and emotionally supporting.

2020-11-10 08:30:56 PM cchase Even the color of medications can help elderly persons remember to take them. Researchers are studying the effect of coloring the pills to the condition, for example red pills for heart medication, and a calming blue pill for pain medication. Seniors who take a lot of prescription medications can use familiar colors and shapes to keep the doses correct.
2020-11-10 08:30:57 PM wclavin1234 what about even the colors we wear? or the caregiers are in light blue and the hospice people are in lavender
