Sensory stimulation is the activation of one or more of the senses such as taste, smell, vision, hearing, and touch. Sensory stimulation enables us to engage with the environment and communicate in multiple and complex ways.
Confusion & isolation can prevent sensory stimulation
People are usually bombarded with sensory stimulation all day long to one extent or another; at home, on the street, when cooking or dancing and in many other aspects of daily living. This however is not always the case for elderly people living in long term care facilities, especially for those living with Alzheimer’s Disease. Often their overwhelming sense of fear, isolation and confusion will prevent them from experiencing sensory stimulation in their everyday lives.
