Key findings
We discovered that sensory rooms in care homes are often not set up in a way to be enjoyed by people with dementia, Existing facilities offer only a limited range of sensory stimulation and often are not age appropriate. There is limited knowledge and training regarding sensory stimulation amongst staff and we therefore developed a guide book advising on the design of multi sensory environments for people with dementia.
