Sensory Equipment for the Dementia Unit
Organised by Hoylake CottageWith the greater awareness of sensory equipment and how it can help people with differing needs we would like to install a variety of visual sensory equipment in our Dementia Unit.
Story
We have noticed out Residents in the Dementia Unit spend a lot of their time looking up at the ceiling. We would like to provide a relaxing yet stimulating visual effect when they do so.
Studies have shown that providing sensory stimulation can help with: Relaxation and mood improvement; Increases self-esteem and wellbeing; Positive feelings and improved mood; Increased levels of concentration and ability to focus; Improvement in cognitive symptoms; Increased concentration and alertness; More interactions with friends and family.
