Calm, Care & Comfort — Inside Every Hospital Room
Sensory Rooms for Hospitals | Sensory Sphere
Hospitals can be overwhelming. Bright lights, clinical sounds, and unfamiliar routines can heighten anxiety—especially for patients with sensory processing needs, autism, dementia, or mental health conditions. That’s why more healthcare facilities are turning to hospital sensory rooms.
At Sensory Sphere, we specialize in the design, installation, and maintenance of sensory spaces for hospitals, providing tailored environments that promote comfort, regulation, and healing.
Why Sensory Rooms in Hospitals?
A hospital sensory room is a therapeutic space designed to help patients self-regulate during times of stress, pain, or emotional overload. These rooms use multi-sensory tools—lighting, sound, textures, and aromatherapy—to create a calming, controlled atmosphere.
They are especially beneficial for:
Neurodivergent patients (autism, ADHD, SPD)
Children and adolescents
Dementia or Alzheimer’s patients
Individuals in acute mental health distress
Long-term care patients needing emotional regulation
