Why Use Sensory Activities for the Elderly?
Sensory stimulation is a key component in the lives of people of all ages, as new and familiar sights, sounds and smells enable them to engage with their environments in complex and meaningful ways. Sensory activities for elderly people help them maintain cognitive abilities and participate in a rewarding social environment, while also reminding them of rewarding accomplishments and special memories. Before beginning a sensory stimulation routine with an elderly person, check for known allergies to avoid including harmful objects.
