Multi-Sensory Stimulation Rooms for Persons with Dementia: Design-on-a-Dime
In this session, participants will learn how sensory stimulation impacts the person living with dementia. Participants will learn how to set up a room or a space in their community using best practice design principles. This session will offer a “design on a dime” approach to a sensory room and demonstrate to providers how to set up a room or space of their own so they can further impact the quality of life of persons with dementia without relying on pharmacology.
