SNOEZELEN
Taken from two Dutch words meaning sniff and doze, SNOEZELEN (pronounced: snooze-lin) is a state of the art multi-sensory treatment program for residents with dementia. No other skilled care facility in the area offers this program.
Appealing to the senses of sight, sound, touch and smell, SNOEZELEN provides an atmosphere that heightens awareness through increased sensory stimulation. SNOEZELEN provides an interesting atmosphere that allows individuals the opportunity to explore their environment. SNOEZELEN encourages activity and provides a secure environment allowing individuals to relax both physically and mentally.
Through the use of devices such as bubble light columns, acrylic mirror panels, anti-gravity chairs, sound boards, and effect projectors, SNOEZELEN provides increased awareness, focusing abilities, self-esteem, processing and communication skills as well as increased compliance and cooperation towards daily routines.
SNOEZELEN aids in the reduction of self-stimulating and maladaptive behaviors such as self-injury or aggression.
