Sensory stimulation uses everyday objects to arouse one or more of the five senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch), with the goal of evoking positive feelings.
By drawing attention to a particular item, sensory stimulation encourages memories and responses of seniors suffering from Alzheimer’s. For instance, art or photos can trigger memories and emotions for seniors who no longer speak. A senior who has not expressed a word in months might suddenly smile or want to pick up a pencil and draw. That art form eventually can become a means for the senior to communicate, either through personal works of art or simply by sharing the experience.
