Music & Sensory Room

Our Sensory Room offers numerous benefits, particularly for individuals experiencing sensory decline, such as age-related hearing loss, or reduced touch sensitivity, which can limit sensory stimulation.

The various features of a Sensory Room are designed to stimulate and engage the senses that are most affected, providing gentle, non-cognitive activities that help residents feel relaxed, entertained, and content.

The room also facilitates social interaction and community building through group activities like sing-alongs and performances, reducing loneliness and encouraging connections.
