Tackling the effects of cognitive and physical decline
New sensory equipment available to loan at no cost
The Recreation and Community Wellness department is pleased to announce new additions to the inventory of equipment to promote wellness in the community.
A variety of sensory items are now available, including fidget blankets, wooden fidgets, puzzles, wooden and gel mazes, aqua art, memory cards and therapy pets. All of these items are available to loan at no cost. The fidget blankets are for the individual to keep.
This is all made possible through a wellness grant from the North Inverness Community Health Board.
The municipality strives to be inclusive of all residents as part of its programs to promote healthy, active living.
Using sensory equipment is one of the most effective ways to provide meaningful support and contribute to an individual’s wellbeing by encouraging both mental and physical activity. We’re sure people will find them enjoyable and engaging to use.
The sensory loan items have been proven to be beneficial to individuals such as youth and adults with disabilities & sensory sensitives, older adults and people living with dementia.
If you or someone you know would like to loan any of these items, please get in touch with Ashli Campbell: ashli.campbell@invernesscounty.ca | 902-258-7960
