Where memory lives in the senses.
Gentle Spaces brings hands-on sensory reminiscence sessions into aged care facilities across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Tweed Shire.
We’ve spent 99.9% of human history outside.
Today, the average person spends 93% of their life indoors.
Research shows that after admittance to an aged care facility, more than half of residents will never see the outdoors again.
Gentle Spaces exists to bring the natural world back into the places people need it most.
Through engaging the five senses, we create a space for aged care residents, and the people who care for them, to reconnect with themselves and their stories.
As a specialist external provider, Gentle Spaces operates fully curated sensory reminiscent sessions across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Tweed Shire Learn More
Each session option offers a fully immersive indoor connection with nature.
Programs combine natural soundscapes, visual elements and native plant displays, creating a space where residents can reminisce, share lived memories and connect with others through sight, sound, touch and scent.
Residents are invited to take the lead in hands-on engagement that encourages creativity, choice and meaningful connection with the natural world.
Programmes are designed to help facilities meet the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, supporting person-centred enrichment within the home. Learn more about how we help you meet the new strengthened standards
