“These wonderful donations are helping us to improve the overall wellbeing and quality of life, for our residents living here at Croft Meadow.”

Irene explained that sensory activities can be very calming for anyone living with a dementia who may also experience agitation or anxiety. Soothing music, familiar scents and different textures can help to reduce agitation and encourage relaxation.
