Following the very positive results from the use of sensory technology at Quistgården Nursing Home, Slagelse Municipality and its welfare technology team have decided to expand the initiative with two mobile Wavecare Mobile Systems, this time focusing on the palliative care area.

Sensory technology that creates calm and quality of life

At Quistgården, sensory technology combining light, sound and visual scenes was used to create calm and improve the quality of life for residents living with dementia. The technology was implemented in close collaboration with University College Absalon, which provided staff training and competence development. The project was supported by the Danish National Board of Social Services with funding of DKK 1.4 million.

Wavecare supplied the solution, which helped reduce restlessness, anxiety and confusion, while creating a safe and comforting atmosphere for both residents and staff.

New mobile sensory solutions for palliative care

With the introduction of two mobile systems for the palliative care rooms at Blomstergården Nursing Home, the municipality now has the opportunity to bring sensory stimulation directly to the residents – wherever the need arises.

The technology makes it possible to:

  • Create calm and comfort for residents in the final phase of life

  • Support care work, even when staff cannot be physically present

  • Offer relatives a peaceful space for closeness, reflection and farewell

One of the most frequently used sensory themes in the Quistgården project was Nature’s Calm – an experience of soft natural imagery and a gentle soundscape that evokes a sense of peace and presence.

Collaboration with people at the centre

This week, we introduced the Wavecare system and the theory behind sensory technology to the staff at Blomstergården. We look forward to seeing how the solution will be used in practice and how mobile sensory technology can strengthen palliative care in Slagelse Municipality.

We also look forward to documenting the impact on well-being, calm and dignity in the final stages of life – for residents, relatives and staff alike.

A sincere thank you to the palliative care team at Blomstergården, Louise Dehli, and the entire welfare technology team in Slagelse Municipality for their trust and collaboration.
