Snoezelen in Dementia care.

[mageean]

I have been using Snoezelen in one of my Dementia units for 3 years now and this has proved to be a very useful Therapy in that it provides a degree of stimulation to those that need it and a restful environment for others. We have also reduced significantly the prescribing of sedative/hypnotic medication. My question is this:

I can find lots of research evidence re the use of Snoezelen in learning Disabilities services but very little in relation to Dementia care. can anyone help

Hi there can Damien from Canterbury or anyone help urgently.

I have been ill and my assignment is due in very soon.

Looking for qualitative and quantitative research on ANYTHING to do with the care of the elderly, maybe in Snoezelen or alternative therapy.

I have trawled through everything I can think of and am getting despondent.

Can collect from local area if you have anything.I must get the 3,000 words done by 10th September.

Please help if you can.
