Add another sense to your Memory Lane TV Experience!
What is Multi Sensory Stimulation?
Multi-sensory stimulation can be an effective way to improve the quality of life for people with dementia. Dementia is a neurodegenerative condition that affects cognitive and functional abilities, as well as sensory processing. Multi-sensory stimulation involves using various sensory stimuli, such as sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste, to engage the person’s senses and stimulate their brain.
Some examples of multi-sensory stimulation activities for people with dementia may include sensory boxes or trays with items that can be touched, smelled, and seen.
A published scientific study from 2018 conducted through a literature review of 30 academic articles called “Sensory and memory stimulation as a means to care for individuals with dementia in long-term care facilities” conclude that sensory and memory stimulation therapies have the potential to help improve many dementia-specific issues for individuals living in long-term care settings.
At Memory Lane TV we have partnered with the best professionals in the field to design our own Sensory Box. Some are paired with our films, some are just designed to engaged through sensory stimulation.
