Back to the real sensory world our 'care' has taken away
Author(s)Colin MacDonald
Journal titleJournal of Dementia Care, vol 10, no 1, Jan/Feb 2002
Pagespp 33-36
KeywordsDementia ; Therapy ; Research Reviews.
AnnotationThe author reflects on research into the effects of multisensory stimulation. He argues that care environments and practices have developed in a way that excludes people with dementia from the pleasurable sensory experiences most of us enjoy every day. Rather than create a new environment to compensate for this deprivation, should we not try to bring some normal experiences back? (RH).
