Creating Calm with Sensory Tools in Dementia Care

How can a simple sensory object help during a stressful caregiving moment? Lisa Skinner explores how fidget blankets and other sensory tools may offer comfort and support calmer interactions with someone living with dementia.

Through everyday caregiving scenarios, Lisa discusses responding when someone insists on going home, worries about a loved one who has passed away, or accuses a caregiver of stealing. The focus is on recognizing the feelings behind the behavior and pairing sensory engagement with calm, reassuring communication.

In this episode:

  • Using sensory objects to gently redirect restless energy.
  • Responding to distress without arguing or correcting.
  • Choosing tools that match the person’s preferences and abilities.
  • Supporting comfort, safety, and dignity at home.
