SOUND RECOLLECTION ~ BIRDS

Price range: $242.00 through $292.00

Sound Recollection

Our Audio Art collection brings the sound of life to every memory care community. Every panel in the Sound Recollection series is created with bold colors and superior sound quality for aging eyes and ears. Sound does not have to come in the form of music to be beneficial, even therapeutic. This is especially true of people who have Dementia including Alzheimer’s disease.

The images on each of these interactive Sound Recollection panels reinforce the memory of the natural sound recording, and help strengthen the association between the sound and its source. The bright, creative, often whimsical photographs, like this loving pair of European Bee Eaters (?), will capture the attention of your residents. With the push of a button they will be able to enjoy the birds singing as their brains re-make and remember the connection between the two sensory inputs.

Lead time for this item is 5-6 weeks.

Sound Recollection Collection

There is a growing body of scientific literature that explores the potential of adding natural sounds to a living environment. An example is Designing Supportive Soundscapes for Nursing Home Residents with Dementia; Paul Devos, et.al. In it is stated, “..a soundscape (e.g., containing natural sounds) can also have a positive effect on health and well-being. What they are proposing as a soundscape is more complex, but these panels are an excellent way to introduce such “natural sounds” into your residential community. We suggest experimenting with sound combinations residence can create, like Horses and Cows, which may share a pasture, or Frogs croaking and Little Ducks chirping. Better yet, let residents conduct these experiments.

Auditory Stimulation for Dementia

Our ears provide many if not most of us with our second most vibrant source of sensory stimulation. Our eyes allow us to enjoy the paintings of Rembrandt and the sculpture of Michelangelo. Our ears, on the other hand, allow us to share in the genius of Mozart and Beethoven and Lennon. But other sounds are music to our ears as you know if you have awakened to a symphony of birds on a spring morning, or if you’ve happened upon a rushing stream on a walk through a forest.

Auditory stimulation for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia is effective for mood enhancement, relaxation, and cognition; just as it is for everyone else.
