Namaste

Today at Derham House we had a Namaste morning.

Namaste care is a person-centred approach, supporting people with advanced dementia to engage in meaningful activities to promote an improved quality of life.

These activities may include: offering gentle touch through playing favourite music and sensory smells.

We turned the lights down low closed the curtains to the outside world to relax from the hustle & bustle of everyday life.

We had a virtual flowing waterfall and ambient lighting to set the mood and lovely aromatherapy smells.

The residents came into the room with a WOW one resident even replied this looks very peaceful I cannot wait for my turn.

Every resident really enjoyed the experiences in particular the head massage to the point they all nodded off ZZZZZZ LOLS.

We will be doing this on a weekly basis as they really benefited from the session.
