AN ENVIRONMENT THAT LIVES WITH NATURE
Care Channel transforms the televisions throughout a care facility into a continuous presence of Nature, gently accompanying the everyday lives of residents, families and care professionals.
Images and natural soundscapes unfold throughout the day, following the rhythms of time and the changing seasons. Nature becomes part of residents’ rooms, shared spaces and activity areas, helping to create an atmosphere that is calmer, more welcoming and centred on well-being.
More than a simple sequence of images, Care Channel creates a living environment that evolves, breathes and renews itself over time. A quiet presence that accompanies daily life throughout the facility without requiring any intervention from staff.
A PROGRAMME THAT FOLLOWS THE RHYTHMS OF LIFE
Each day is accompanied by a carefully designed programme that evolves naturally from morning to night.
The imagery changes with the hours of the day and the changing seasons, accompanying the different moments of daily life: waking up, morning activities, lunchtime, the afternoon, the evening and night-time rest.
Nature is never still. Its light, atmosphere and colours are constantly changing.
Care Channel reflects these natural rhythms, bringing the continuity of the seasons into the care environment and aligning Nature’s rhythm with the different moments of the day.
NATURE ACCOMPANIES EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY
Life in care settings follows a familiar daily rhythm.
Each moment unfolds in a recognisable sequence: waking up, breakfast, morning activities, lunch, rest, social interaction, the evening and the night.
GENTLE AWAKENING 🌿Relaxing tones accompany the transition from sleep into the day.
ENERGISING MORNING 🌿Bright colours and vibrant natural scenes accompany morning activities.
MIDDAY PAUSE 🌿Natural imagery creates a calm and welcoming atmosphere during lunchtime.
AFTERNOON REST 🌿Calming themes accompany the quiet time following lunch.
RESTORATIVE AFTERNOON🌿Nature accompanies daily activities with fresh and harmonious landscapes.
SUNSET DINNER 🌿The warmer light naturally accompanies the transition into evening.
RESTFUL EVENING 🌿Soft colours and contemplative atmospheres create a sense of calm and quiet reflection.
NIGHT-TIME CALM 🌿Soothing images and natural sounds accompany rest, gently reducing external stimuli.
A DESIGNED EXPERIENCE
The Care Channel programme is the result of a structured design process developed to accompany everyday life within care environments. It is not simply a selection of nature videos, but the creation of an audiovisual experience designed to integrate with the rhythms of the facility.
The choice of environments, the rhythm of the images, the duration of the scenes, and the alternation between landscapes, flowers, water, forests and skies, together with the soundscape, contribute to creating an ever-changing natural presence without becoming repetitive.
Each theme follows a carefully designed progression. The Short Sequences renew the landscapes with a dynamic rhythm, maintaining attention without creating interruptions. The transition to the Long Sequence gradually expands the perception of time, encouraging slower and more contemplative observation. The experience concludes with one or two Living Pictures—extended shots that invite the viewer to dwell on the landscape—allowing the wind, light, water and spontaneous movements of Nature to reveal its beauty.
The continuous alternation between themes and environments prevents repetition and keeps curiosity alive, making every viewing experience unique.
The entire programme is conceived as a unified project, in which every choice—from natural environments to soundscapes and sequence design—is oriented towards preserving the balance of the overall experience.
A PROGRAMME THAT INSPIRES THE CARE TEAM’S WORK
Each facility receives a daily programme calendar, showing the natural environments scheduled throughout the different moments of the day. This allows the care team to know the contents in advance and integrate them into activity planning.
A mountain landscape can become a starting point for a conversation, a storytelling activity or an artistic workshop. The blossom of a cherry tree can accompany a creative activity, a reminiscence pathway or a moment dedicated to the seasons of life.
Nature thus becomes not only an environment to observe, but also a shared resource that inspires the educational, relational and therapeutic work carried out within the facility.
The programme is also provided in a digital format, easy to consult and share within the care team. Knowing the schedule in advance allows images to become a starting point for individual and group activities.
Landscapes, flowers, seasons and natural rhythms can accompany artistic workshops, conversations, reminiscence activities, readings, relaxation moments, expressive activities or simply opportunities for connection.
The educator can prepare a coherent workshop.
The psychologist can use images as a stimulus.
The care professional can create conversations and evoke memories.
Care Channel thus becomes a shared tool that supports the design of educational, relational and expressive activities.
A SINGLE SYSTEM, THE ENTIRE FACILITY CONNECTED
Alamar Life Care Channel integrates easily and quickly with the facility’s existing television system. A single solution allows the programme to be distributed to residents’ rooms and all connected areas, including shared spaces, lounges, reception areas and waiting rooms (as well as dedicated therapeutic environments such as Snoezelen rooms, sensory rooms or multisensory spaces).
Installation is simple and operation is fully automatic, requiring no intervention from staff.

Independent Access
Each resident can experience Nature whenever they feel the need, in their own room or in shared spaces, without the need to organise dedicated activities.
Care Channel can also be activated by staff during key moments of the day, providing a visual and sound presence that supports the rhythm of care activities, fostering harmony and collaboration in everyday life within the facility.
THE BENEFITS

THE EXPERIENCE OF THOSE WHO LIVE IT
“I find these images so beautiful… I really like them, they are very relaxing.
What I love is that when I look away and then turn back to the screen, there is a different image, something new and wonderful… it is always a surprise.
A flower whose scent I almost seem to perceive. The images surprise me every time.
I always watch it, not only because I love plants and flowers, but because they are alive and it feels as if every kind of flower has its own story. I always admire them, because they speak to you.
I get goosebumps as I say this.”
