Foot Comfort
Comfort Under Every Step
Viconic Fall Defense adds a layer of resilient support under your flooring, reducing foot, leg, and joint fatigue for residents and staff who spend long hours on their feet. The system delivers a more forgiving walking surface without compromising performance, durability, or mobility support.
Key advantages:
- Provides cushioned support that reduces foot and leg strain
- Helps staff stay comfortable during long shifts and repetitive walking routes
- Increases resident stability and mobility confidence
- Creates a noticeably softer feel without affecting flooring design
Together, these advantages help create quieter, more comfortable environments where residents move more easily and staff feel better supported.
“It’s not squishy, but it’s supportive. It holds up to wheelchairs, walkers, scooters—and still relieves physical stress for staff and residents alike. ”— Clare Hahneman,

Designed for All-Day Staff Comfort
Nurses, caregivers, and support teams spend hours standing, walking, and transferring residents. Viconic Fall Defense provides consistent underfoot cushioning that helps reduce fatigue over an entire shift. The added comfort contributes to better ergonomics, improved staff satisfaction, and a more supportive work environment.
"When the data proves it works, there’s no price that isn’t worth paying. You can’t put a value on safety."
“We can use it anywhere in the plan. It fits the design intent without compromise—and that makes it an easy sell to leadership because the ROI is built in.”
"The ROI will pay for itself in a matter of a year, two tops … the cost of one fall is somewhere between $4,000 and $7,00—conservatively."
"The long-term cost will be repaid fairly quickly—even after a first fall of a resident, that product will have paid for itself."
"The cost of NOT doing something like this is usually four times higher. The longer a building is occupied, the more accidents—and costs—you incur."
"We’ve seen a dramatic difference. In rooms with Viconic, we had zero severe injuries and zero ER visits. The impact of a fall affects a resident’s wellbeing, staff time, family involvement, even end-of-life decisions. Anything we can do to reduce injury helps everyone."
Comfort That Supports Resident Mobility
Flooring that feels harsh or unforgiving can discourage movement—especially for older adults with joint pain, balance limitations, or gait instability. Viconic’s resilient layer provides a softer, more supportive walking experience that helps residents move with greater confidence and less discomfort.
Softer Underfoot Without Compromising Stability
Unlike overly soft surfaces that can impede mobility or create drag, Viconic Fall Defense offers controlled, engineered cushioning that maintains stability and supports safe movement. It provides measurable comfort without compromising floor performance, rolling load capability, or balance support.
