| Annotation | Dementia can result in sensory impairment, the effects of which are not always understood by care staff. The authors have developed a workshop based on experiential learning which has resulted in changes in practice. They outline ways in which hearing, sight, taste, smell and touch can be impaired, and describe exercises that have been developed to counter such problems. In the case of taste and smell, for which no such experiential exercise could be offered, participants at the workshop were asked for their observations of changes of taste and smell for the people in their care.
