The sensory room at Greenways Care Home in Glasgow offers a gentle, controlled environment where residents can relax, unwind and feel safe, particularly those living with dementia or high anxiety.
The specially designed sensory room features soft lighting, soothing sounds, tactile materials and carefully chosen colours to create a tranquil space away from busier communal areas. It is used flexibly throughout the day, often on a one‑to‑one basis, to help residents feel more settled.
Staff adapt the environment to suit each individual, adjusting light, sound and sensory items so the experience feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
Some residents respond to gentle music, others to familiar scents or simple visual effects. For people living with dementia, repetitive, comforting actions like handling soft fabrics or using tactile objects can reduce restlessness and provide reassurance.
The sensory room is not about doing more, it is about creating space for quieter moments that support emotional wellbeing alongside everyday Nursing, Residential or Palliative Care.
Any resident who may benefit from a calmer environment can use the sensory room, following guidance from the care team.
Yes. Staff remain nearby or present, depending on the resident’s needs, to ensure safety and to adjust the environment as required.
