Sensory Sunshine for Seniors is a project that has been shaped by our experiences working in assisted living and memory care settings. Working in these communities, helping a resident by engaging through sensory activities and seeing them light up and experience positivity is rewarding. Meeting them where they're at and having different ways to engage is so important.
We want to make these sensory environments an option to have brought into community third spaces. An immersive, armchair exploration of sights, sounds, smells, and textures! Exploring memories, storytelling and whimsy as a part of this project brings so much joy! Not only can this help seniors with dementia in the moment, sensory activities help reduce agitation and anxiety, helping the resident feel more safe and secure.
As a team who have spent time working directly with seniors affected by dementia, we have curated these experiences to meet their enrichment needs. We are well versed in accommodating our activities to reduce anxiety and agitation in the moment while still providing a worthwhile experience.
As Sensory Sunshine for Seniors grows our goal is to be able to offer an immersive experience for seniors across the front range. Our pick up and go immersion kits will be quick to set up, easy to clean, and take down to reduce the time in your community that we’re not directly serving your space.
In addition to themed programming, we will bring tactile sensory items to help your loved ones fully engage with the immersion experience. These tactile sensory items are curated to encourage feelings of calmness and a better mood for your love one.
