The residents living in our Dementia Unit spend a lot of time looking up. We would like to provide a relaxing yet stimulating visual effect as they are looking at the ceiling. We have looked into this and found that sensory equipment has been shown to 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
We are hoping to provide a projector and other visual equipment to create a more interesting and welcoming environment for our residents. We can’t do this by ourselves. You can help us by donating to our Sensory Equipment for the Dementia Unit – JustGiving campaign.
