Scent for Pleasure

Good thinking Sharon. Sight and hearing stimulation would be more suitable for people with poor sense of smell.

I'm all for sensory activities, but let's remember that sometimes we set residents up to "fail" as 80 percent of those with Parkinsons Disease and Alzheimers have no sense of smell. We need to look to other forms of sensory stimulation for them. Footspa with gentle foot massage is a winner for us!

I would love to know how you go Kim. Sensory stimulation is really important for people in long term care.

I thought this sounds like a really good activity, that could lead onto many paths of conversations I will let you know how I go when I try it
