Rain Stick | A fun sensory activity for Alzheimer's patients

RAIN STICK

A modern version of an ancient percussion instrument – it creates a gentle sound like falling rain. Just the sound is soothing, like listening to a gentle rain shower. This rainstick can also be used as a percussion instrument to accompany music or in a group music intervention for dementia. Music provides one of the most powerful forms of natural therapy we have.

Description

Press Release from Alzheimer’s Society:

Fiona Carragher, Chief Policy and Research Officer at Alzheimer’s Society, says: “The Fidget Widget toolkit addresses an unmet need for people with fidgeting behaviors, a group which can be overlooked or labelled ‘difficult to manage’.

“Dementia is a devastating condition, and while our funded researchers are hard at work to find a cure, it’s great to see the brilliant ideas that we have helped make a reality, being employed to help people with dementia right now.”

Jane Souyave, Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), “In collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Society and Relish, the Fidget Widget Toolkit is the result of 8 years of research and development and provides an opportunity for those with advanced dementia to be engaged in meaningful activities that enhance personal wellbeing.

The results of our product testing, in people’s own homes, day centers and Lancashire (UK) County Council care homes, confirm that the toolkit supports psychological needs. Users feel occupied, engaged and included in a meaningful activity of their choice. Caregivers also reported there was an ongoing and lasting well-being effect.”
