A calming sensory experience

Wavecare provides a sense of calm atmosphere and supports daily routines in residential facilities.

Sensory rooms are used in residential care facilities for individualized treatment processes, as part of residents’ coping strategies, and to encourage a balanced daily rhythm. This also impacts the interactions in common areas by creating a calm and secure atmosphere that supports positive relationships between residents and staff, helping to ease conflicts.

Wavecare has demonstrated effectiveness across diagnoses, as well as linguistic and cultural barriers.

What the staff say about Wavecare

“It has created a calm and secure environment for our complex patients. It has given us as staff a space to foster security and offer a supplement to medical treatment. On several occasions, it has freed up resources because many of our patients are extremely contact-seeking when they are feeling unwell.”.
