The creation of good scent environments
MANTRA, Moesgaard’s Anthropological Analysis Unit at Aarhus University, collaborated with the Magistrate for Health and Care, Aarhus Municipality (AAK) from 2020 to 2023 on a co-financed research and innovation project. This project investigates the experiences of residents, relatives, and staff with scent environments in Aarhus nursing homes. It also aims to innovate the field by creating interventions focused on pleasant and sensory-stimulating scent environments for residents, staff, and relatives in Aarhus nursing homes.
