StoneRidge is a senior living community in Mystic, CT offering independent living, assisted living, and senior health services.

When leadership at StoneRidge and LCS considered the idea of a turnkey energy efficiency upgrade for all the lighting and mechanical equipment in their community, it was with the understanding that quality of light and resident comfort would drive their decision-making even more than the potential for energy savings. Their top priority was providing their residents with a well-lit, safe and comfortable environment, while maintaining the distinct ambience of the property. They knew all four components are critical to resident satisfaction.
