Details
The Tovertafel has been developed as part of a doctoral research program. The games’ effects on residents have been (and continue to be!) studied and proven in a dozen master’s and PhDs. It is the only assistive technology designed for and with people living with dementia. Each game has been extensively tested to ensure a positive effect on players’ moods and behavior. It benefits the residents, but also the care staff. It engages multiple residents at a time in a meaningful activity, with no material to prep or clean up.

Our residents' experience with the Tovertafel is remarkable, especially for those with major neurocognitive disorders. I can see the benefits for residents with BPSD. The table is used at different times, whether during the day, evening or at night. We adjust according to the timing of behaviors. The distraction/entertainment provided by the Tovertafel is often enough to reduce or eliminate BPSD at that moment.

My residents on the Dementia unit are absolutely infatuated with the Tovertafel. We've noted a marked decline in sundowning behaviors related to boredom and lack of stimulation, so we have been utilizing it often during the evening...I'm excited to be able to move the device around our building and see what benefits it brings to some of our higher-functioning folks as well.

Sharing beautiful moments
As health care professionals, we have many roles to play. Whether it is completing daily tasks, reducing residents' anxiety or keeping our skills up to date. We received training for the Tovertafel, a simple and efficient process that allowed us to acquire new knowledge and skills to help residents with a loss of autonomy. (To reduce anxiety and more).
I wanted to express our satisfaction with the training and the tool. An outstanding experience for the residents: laughter, competitive residents, amazement and many other emotions.
Therefore, our goal is to share these beautiful moments with you.

The table is used more and more here at Champlain. I have a resident who is always negative and never participates in our activities. She was curious the first time and quietly approached the table, and after several weeks, she participates all the time. She always highlights the Magic Table activity on the calendar because she doesn't want to miss it!

The magic table allows residents to get together, have meaningful interactions and a lot of fun.
Residents thank the recreation team for playing this wonderful activity with them.
