The Multi-Sensory Experience
Every human being is created with the magnificent senses. Whether you are young or old, healthy or sick each one of us experiences life through our senses. In this class you will learn how senses affect those who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or some other form of dementia. The use of knowledge, activates and day to day uses will help assist our residents to experience a positive sensory experience in their day to day lives.
