ForceField Energy, a global company whose products and solutions focus on renewable energy and improved energy efficiency, has signed a consulting and sales agreement for LED lighting products with LNHA Service Corporation servicing the Louisiana Nursing Home Association’s Member (“LNHA”), a non-profit representing more than 250 nursing facilities and assisted living communities that care for approximately 30,000 elderly and disabled individuals.
Per the agreement, LNHA will provide support for the marketing and sales efforts with its existing members. The non-profit will also leverage its long-standing experience to penetrate the approximate 80,000 U.S.-based nursing homes and long-term care establishments with combined annual revenues approximating $200 billion.
“The long-term care and healthcare markets represent significant opportunities given the continued aging of the general, domestic population and the push for greater efficiency by healthcare providers,” FNRG Chairman Richard St-Julien stated in the press release. “With their more than 55 years of industry experience, we are proud to partner with a respected leader such as LNHA that clearly understands the needs of both the patients and facility of long-term care facilities. We are confident that the insight and accessibility LNHA brings to this partnership will enable us to increase awareness as to the many benefits of LED lighting and provide us with significant revenue opportunities for our products and services.”
FNRG notes that entities choose to utilize LED based largely on safety advantages the lighting systems provide. The typical nursing home has inadequate lighting, which creates a safety hazard for its residents and may have an adverse effect on mood and productivity. FNRG says leading medical studies on major depressive disorders in elderly individuals have shown that using bright light treatment may improve the patients’ mood, sleep and hormonal rhythms.
Better lighting in these environments may also encourage independence among nursing home residents while reducing the demand on the facility’s staff.
“Improving staff efficiency, lowering operating costs, and enhancing safety first provide significant value to long-term care facility operators and their residents, and second addresses the key challenges that the industry faces as a result of the increased health needs of its residents and reimbursement pressures,” stated Myron Chatelain, LNHA’s Service Corp. manager. “In the light of these challenges and through the significant benefits available with LED lighting, we are confident that by partnering with ForceField we can accelerate the adoption of LED lighting in the market.”
