Sick House Syndrome Overlooked in Seniors’ Homes


Sick House Syndrome occurs when a house can’t “breathe” and rid itself of indoor pollutants, resulting in poor indoor air quality. The high levels of pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde, can cause health problems for seniors who are more sensitive to these types of irritants.

Air quality is something that go overlooked in a senior’s home. Poor indoor air quality can cause health problems and lead to a reduced quality of life. This happens because the immune system becomes less effective when it has to fight off pollutants. The older the home, the more possibility of Sick House Syndrome.

The symptoms of Sick House Syndrome are:

  • Headaches And Dizziness

  • Nausea

  • Aches And Pains

  • Fatigue

  • Poor Concentration

  • Shortness Of Breath or Chest Tightness

  • Eye And Throat Irritation

  • Irritated, Blocked or Runny Nose

  • Skin Irritations and Rashes

  • Falls

Seniors Home Services’ Air Pro Indoor air purification with Active Air Technology is the solution. ActivePure is based on technology originally developed by NASA. It is proven to reduce over 99% of surface micro-organisms and dramatically reduce airborne contaminants and allergens in the air such as fungi, mold, odor-causing bacteria, and can eradicate up to 99.96% of virus that causes COVID-19.


With a senior taking in 20,000 breaths of air in a day, 90% of which are at home, don’t you think better air quality is important? Call or Text 800-480-3344 to reach one of our care consultants for more information.
