Sensory Sunshine for Seniors is a project that has been shaped by our boards experience working in assisted living and memory care settings. As staff 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 communities. An immersive, armchair exploration of sights, sounds, smells, textures and tastes! 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.
Using Sensory Sunshine for Senior’s services is an opportunity to change up the day, and let your residents be immersed in a sensory environment. This chance at immersive armchair adventure allows residents who experience difficulty going on outings the chance to experience fun new things while still having access to the day to day care they typically receive.
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. For communities bringing us in, 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 residents.
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.

Kaylee has a strong background providing meaningful, and impactful enrichment to seniors with dementia.
"My passion for memory care comes from a deeply personal place. After seeing my great-grandmother’s journey with Alzheimer’s, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to supporting those living with dementia and the families who walk alongside them. Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia don’t take away a person’s worth, their story, or their ability to feel love and connection. Every senior I work with has a life full of memories, meaning, and individuality, and it’s my purpose to honor that every single day. Through compassion, patience, and meaningful engagement, I strive to create moments of joy, comfort, and dignity , because even as memories fade, the feeling of being cared for never does. "
