Notice Me
A gentle invitation to notice oneself in the room.
Nursing Homes
When the day room feels overstimulating, residents need more than another activity.
A shared experience every resident can join in their own way.
The Sensory Reset Method™ is a structured, facilitator-led group experience designed for older adults of mixed mobility, communication and cognitive ability.
Designed for the shared day room. No quizzes, crafts or complicated instructions.
The reality of the day room
Residents in the same room can differ widely in mobility, communication and cognitive ability. Many group activities engage only a small number of people, leaving others watching, unsettled or simply not included.
Activities Coordinators and care teams are often looking for something dignified and inclusive that works for the whole room, without complicated props or instructions.
