Boca Raton, FL – As the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on elderly communities, one nursing and rehab center is fighting back. Beth Abraham Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing, located in Bronx, NY, and once part of the epicenter of the COVID pandemic, has teamed with SALT Chamber, a leading salt therapy industry product, equipment, and décor company, to design, build, and install a dry salt therapy room at their facility.Aging seniors are most susceptible to contracting serious respiratory conditions from all types of viruses as it compromises their lung function. The CDC even warns that among adults, the risk for severe illness from COVID-19 increases with age, with older adults at highest risk.According to the Salt Therapy Association (STA) and based on clinical research, salt therapy is a safe, complimentary wellness modality that can aid in:
Dry salt goes deep into the recesses of an individuals’ lungs, absorbs impurities from the body, and helps break up mucus so the body can eliminate the toxins. Clean lungs bring more oxygen into the body to provide energy, impact every organ in the body, and improve overall well-being
.Dr. Daniel Layish, a leading Orlando Pulmonologist and one of the Founding Directors of the STA, is a strong proponent of dry salt therapy and refers many patients to The Salt Room® Orlando, one of the original salt therapy facilities in the United States.
Beth Abraham Center is part of the Centers Health Care network, the largest post-acute healthcare provider in the Northeast. Their architectural and development partners, The One 70 Group, contracted SALT Chamber, the pioneers of the industry, to provide the most advanced and effective salt therapy room for their first project. In 2013, SALT Chamber was the first to design and develop the salt room concept for a premier retirement and senior assisted living community in Portland, Oregon.
Recently SALT Chamber was awarded contracts for providing their salt therapy equipment and Himalayan salt décor to Watercrest Senior Living Group and is currently working on five of their new facilities being built in Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and Virginia.
Over the years, SALT Chamber has worked with designers, developers, and builders for all types of salt therapy room projects, however, the senior market has been growing.
“As more and more people and medical professionals become aware of the respiratory benefits of salt therapy, it naturally makes sense that seniors, and Baby Boomers like me, enjoy getting salted…it's becoming part of our wellness practices”, said Leo Tonkin, Founder and CEO of SALT Chamber.
Tonkin adds, “Respiratory wellness is more important than ever, and as we age, we are more prone to respiratory issues. Add the impact of COVID and that is why we have seen a surge in projects from country clubs, residential developments, amenities in condominiums and now with senior living residences and communities.
