Sensory Room

The sensory room at Hazelwood Care Home has been specially created to offer a calming space that supports residents living with dementia, cerebral palsy, or sensory impairments such as visual or hearing difficulties. Featuring gentle lighting effects, a variety of soothing textures, and comfortable seating, the room is designed to engage the senses in a safe and peaceful setting. This dedicated space helps to enhance communication, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being for those who benefit from sensory stimulation.

The Benefits of a Sensory Room

Our Sensory Room was created to benefit a majority of residents with differing illnesses or conditions. Those with sensory impairments, cerebral palsy or dementia will greatly benefit from using this room. The soft objects, multicoloured lighting and sounds played can help to develop communication skills, improve focus and provide a calming effect on individuals. It can also help those who are unable to socialise in a normal environment to produce emotions or connections with others that they wouldn’t usually do.

Engaging, Inclusive Activities for All

At Hazelwood Care Home, we believe that every day should be filled with opportunities for enjoyment, connection, and stimulation. Our dedicated activities team puts together a diverse schedule of all-inclusive activities that cater to all interests and abilities, ensuring that every resident can get involved, regardless of their care needs. We value the voices of our residents and always welcome their suggestions, continuously shaping our activity programme – including use of our sensory room – around their preferences and well-being.
