An opening ceremony for the new Sensory Room at Bunny's Wing at Park House Court Nursing Home took place on Tuesday. The Sensory Room has been kindly funded with donations from family and friends of former residents, Roma Jones, Peter Wilson and Cecil Moore. Research has shown that people with dementia can benefit from a sensory room in two ways, namely, it provides a calming, relaxing environment and passively stimulates the brain, in short, a whole new sensory universe. It is possible in sensory rooms to create a highly flexible interactive environment with countless activities limited by one's imagination. At Park House Court Nursing Home, the room allows staff to assess each individual's needs and progress, has multiple modes of operation to enable effective assessment, is functional, practical, reliable and safe, and gives the ability to expand to meet their ever-changing needs and requirements. Some of the equipment found in the Sensory Room includes bubble tubes, providing relaxation and stimulation to all in most environments; fibre optics which have changing colours to encourage focusing attention and have calming effects; glow balls which encourage contact whilst attracting visual attention; and interactive pets which are wonderfully tactile, relaxing and soothing.
