A hallway, a couch, a kitchen—these are not just places. They are opportunities. This blog will explore how to create engaging moments in ordinary spaces using conversation starters, sensory cues, and personal objects.
The home can be filled with purposeful activities that make each day meaningful. Sit in the kitchen and share the smell of herbs, or fold laundry together while talking about favorite clothes from the past. These actions ground the person in the now and create new connections.
Tips:
· Use common rooms to host mini sensory moments like hand massages or snack tasting.
· Label familiar spaces with photos or signs to create familiarity and comfort.
