The Green is a care home in Redruth for people with residential, dementia and mental health needs run by Cornwall care.

The Mobii magic table is amazing, it’s so good for co-ordination, reminiscence and such a great social tool. The response we have had from our residents has been fantastic.

Sam Tatum, Care Manager of The Green is already overwhelmed by the feedback she’s received from residents and staff using the Mobii “magic table” interactive sensory projector system:
“We look after people with complex dementia and mental health needs so to see them actively using the system and working together is so heart-warming. The Mobii magic table is amazing, it’s so good for co-ordination, reminiscence and such a great social tool. The response we have had from our residents has been fantastic and to see them enjoying it together has made me quite emotional.”

She also highlighted the advantages of the Mobii being a truly mobile system as some of their residents are nursed in their bedrooms.

‘‘It’s fabulous that we can project directly onto their beds so they can enjoy the music and colourful scenes and sounds from nature. There is such a huge variety of physical and social experiences including painting, quizzes and agility/coordination games with beanbags, batons, brushes and balls.
Our staff are also looking forward to personalising the Mobii system by creating reminiscence activities using old and new photos of Redruth, to use with the painting effect, to help residents share memories.’’

‘‘It’s fabulous that we can project directly onto their beds so they can enjoy the music and colourful scenes and sounds from nature.

Anne Thomas, chief executive of Cornwall Care, a not-for-profit charity, said: “We are delighted that our residents at The Green are already gaining so much from this wonderful technology. Supporting people to have meaningful and stimulating interaction is an important part of what we do and we will continue to embrace new ways of enriching the lives and experiences of everyone in our care.”

Cornwall Care is now planning to raise funds to install more Mobii magic table systems in their care homes across the county.

Case Study: Sunrise Senior Living Eastbourne

It doesn’t sound like a huge thing but to give anyone a reason to interact in a physical and sensory way is widening their daily experience and enabling us to have an insight into the person behind the dementia. That’s pretty special.

Sunrise Senior Living in Eastbourne provides high quality personalised nursing, dementia care and assisted living.

They bought a Mobii “magic table” interactive sensory projector for floors and table over a year ago for use in their Memory Care neighbourhood, where they are dedicated to providing enriched person-centred care.

Nancy Walford, the Reminiscence Coordinator ( now Deputy Manager) talks about the effects the Mobii sensory activities has had on one particular Sunrise resident living with dementia:

‘One of the ladies we care for is quite insular within her world, she rarely opens her eyes and interacts, but since we’ve had the Mobii magic surface we have found a means to connect with her, it really has opened up her world. Now she will open her eyes and engage with the pictures on the table, she particularly enjoys participating in the nature ‘wipe’ activities.

Prior to the sensory table we have had little insight into how much she understands and processes, this new knowledge allows us to tailor more activities around her needs.

Although she is unable to communicate verbally, she is able to feedback her enjoyment by reaching forward to colour in certain images, this tells us she is seeing the picture and understanding there is something to colour like a bird or a landscape. The Mobii magic table is clearly giving her the motivation to stretch and interact with her environment and by repeating this action we know she is actively enjoying the process. Prior to the table we have had little insight into how much she understands and processes, this new knowledge allows us to tailor more activities around her needs. The table also provides her with a sense of achievement, her movements are changing the picture and she can see the product of her interactions and feel accomplished.

The Mobii magic surface has also increased her upper body mobility by giving her a reason to sit forward and outstretch her arm, it doesn’t sound like a huge thing but to give anyone a reason to interact in a physical and sensory way is widening their daily experience and enabling us to have an insight into the person behind the dementia. That’s pretty special.’
