Special features
Smell & Tell – using fragrances to reinforce social interaction.
People living in care homes can sometimes feel the adverse effects of isolation and the lack of social interaction. As part of an initiative running across various Givaudan locations to support communities strongly affected by the effects of Covid-19, a team of volunteers created Smell & Tell®, a mood bosting game comprising a board and memory game designed to be played by residents of varying abilities, in care homes.
Do you smell well?
One important symptom of Covid19 – the loss of the sense of smell - has highlighted how vital this sense is to our daily lives. But there are lots of reasons someone can lose their sense of smell, or "amnosmia" as it is known. here we look at some of these reasons and what you can do about it.
