Sensory Therapy Life Skills Station

Life Skills Stations are specialized areas designed for individuals with dementia, particularly in memory care settings.  

Our Sensory Therapy Life Skills Station includes:

• 50 Activities
• 3 Activity Kits
• Height-Adjustable Work Table
• Therapy dolls
• Robotic Therapy Pets
• Music Therapy
• Activity Storage Container

These stations recreate familiar environments or activities from a person’s past, such as a laundry room, garden, or workshop, to stimulate memories, encourage engagement, and provide a sense of purpose.

Life skills stations offer multiple therapeutic benefits for dementia patients across different stages:

• Cognitive Stimulation: Engaging in familiar tasks, like sorting office supplies or folding laundry, stimulates memory recall and helps maintain mental acuity.
• Emotional Well-Being: Familiar settings reduce anxiety and agitation by evoking positive memories, fostering a sense of comfort and normalcy.
• Social Interaction: Stations encourage interaction with staff, family, or other residents, reducing feelings of isolation and promoting community.
• Physical Activity: Tasks like gardening or organizing involve movement, supporting physical health and motor skills.
• Behavioural Management: Meaningful engagement can reduce challenging behaviours like wandering, aggression, or repetitive actions.
