Take a look inside the new multi-sensory environment room. GRH's specialized mental health program has put this room in place to stimulate the senses of clients, and also help them to relax. Funding from the Grand River Hospital Foundation paid for equipment in the room, while an educational grant from the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation provided training in its use.
Research indicates that the multi-sensory environment can be supportive to clients with dementia and developmental disabilities. Multi-sensory environments rooms are used in mental health settings and can support reductions in seclusion and restraint use.
