Exploring Senses

EXPLORING SENSES

When you are visually and/or auditory limited, it is nice that you can still enjoy the (outdoor) environment through sensory perception and experience. A garden where the senses are stimulated is extremely important. We also design experience gardens for these users of the outdoor space that meet this need.

An auditory impairment ensures that hearing is to some extent limited. Hearing impairment (impaired hearing in one or more ears) and deafness (complete hearing loss in both ears) are auditory impairments. Some people with auditory impairments can hear sound, but they don’t always hear enough to understand speech. Having a visual impairment means that vision or vision is to some extent limited. This ranges from impaired vision in one or more eyes (low vision) to substantial irreparable vision loss in both eyes (blindness). Some people have limited or no sensitivity to seeing (certain) colors (color blindness), or an increased sensitivity to bright colors.

STIMULATION SENSES

We therefore set up the outdoor space for people with visual or auditory impairments in such a way that they get a safe, secure and welcome feeling in particular. In this tailor-made environment, sensory experience, accessible exercise, recreation and social contacts with fellow residents, family and caregivers are central. The aim is stimulation of especially senses of touch, hearing and smell.

LAY OUT BY EXPERIENCE

The sensory experience garden is arranged in such a way that a clear path runs through it, so that it can be oriented well, such as a running circuit with thick rope. And where main and side paths have a different surface. To get extra exercise, the vital resident takes the accidentified path. For example, the garden becomes an extension of the care inside and the resident can do part of the physiotherapy outside in the fresh air. The silent enjoyer sits by that part of the garden that is arranged in such a way that the colors and smells can be well absorbed. For example, in the vicinity of a flower garden or interactive feel panel. While in another quiet location you can catch up on the terrace with as little ambient noise as possible. Gardening is possible in a stone-demarcated raised garden. A number of suggestions for supporting experience equipment can be found in our product range of play and learning panels.

In addition to this design concept for experience gardens with a focus on sensory perception, we have even more design concepts specifically for care & well-being:

  • Forever Young, for longer independent living and vital elderly people
  • Down Memory Lane, experience gardens for dementia care
  • Playing Together, outdoor spaces for people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities
