Sensory & Relaxation Zone
Creating Calm, Connection & Meaningful Sensory Experiences
Our dedicated Sensory & Relaxation Zone at Park View Care Home is a unique, purpose-built space designed to support the emotional and sensory wellbeing of every resident.
Created through years of specialist insight into dementia and elderly care, this flexible environment allows residents to experience calming or stimulating multi-sensory sessions — helping to reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and unlock powerful connections through sight, sound, touch, and smell.
Unlike many homes, our Sensory Zone is a fully immersive space — one that can be tailored to individual needs and preferences, providing true value for residents at every stage of their care journey.
Designed to Adapt & Support Individual Needs
Visual experiences — gentle lighting, colour therapy, moving projections and visual effects
Touch & feel — a range of tactile objects and materials to explore
Aromatherapy — soothing scents to promote relaxation and trigger memory
Sound — calming music, nature sounds, personalised playlists
State-of-the-art interactive projectors — providing interactive sensory engagement through touch and movement
Flexible environment — the zone can be closed off when desired, creating a fully immersive, private sensory experience
This flexibility allows us to create tailored sessions — whether to help someone unwind after a busy day, to support residents with advanced dementia, or to offer a soothing break from sensory overload.
Why Sensory Experiences Matter in Dementia & Elderly Care
✅ Reduce agitation, stress and anxiety
✅ Promote emotional calm and comfort
✅ Stimulate memory and sensory pathways
✅ Provide positive experiences for those who may struggle with verbal or social interaction
✅ Support residents at more advanced stages of dementia where other forms of engagement may be more difficult
Crucially, this is not just a “nice to have” — it is a purposeful, well-researched element of Park View’s activities-based care model.
Personalised & Purposeful Use
✅ Gentle relaxation sessions to support sleep or calm
✅ Stimulating sensory play to promote engagement
✅ 1:1 therapeutic work for residents with complex dementia
✅ Group sensory experiences with calming visual and sound elements
The flexibility of the space — combined with advanced interactive technology — allows us to offer experiences that are genuinely tailored and meaningful.
