Creating Meaningful Connections in Care Homes with Crdl

At Porters Care, we are dedicated to providing advanced solutions that improve the lives of individuals living with dementia. The CRDL (pronounced “cradle”) is an interactive instrument designed to facilitate non-verbal communication through touch and sound, creating meaningful connections between individuals and their caregivers.

What is CRDL?

CRDL is a therapeutic device that translates human touch into sound, enabling new forms of interaction for those who may struggle with traditional communication methods. By recognising various types of touch—such as holding, stroking, or tapping—CRDL produces corresponding sounds that can evoke memories and emotions, fostering a sense of connection and presence.

Key Features of CRDL

Interactive Soundscapes

CRDL offers 15 curated sound-stories, ranging from natural environments to musical compositions, each designed to stimulate memory and emotional responses.

Touch Recognition

CRDL uses advanced sensor technology to detect and distinguish between different types of human touch—such as stroking, tapping, holding, or brushing.

Group Engagement

CRDL can be used in one-on-one settings or group sessions, promoting social interaction and reducing feelings of isolation, creating more engagement in your community.

Beautiful, Durable Design

Crafted from premium wood, CRDL is aesthetically warm and blends into any care setting.

Bringing Connection to Dementia Care

CRDL’s gentle, sound-based interactions help soothe residents who may be experiencing confusion, restlessness, or emotional distress. By engaging the senses through familiar and calming soundscapes, it promotes a sense of safety and tranquility—reducing common behavioral symptoms associated with dementia such as pacing, yelling, or resistance to care. This creates a more peaceful environment for both residents and caregivers.

Enhancing the Quality of Life in Care Homes

CRDL’s benefits extend beyond dementia care. It enriches the care home environment by turning routine interactions into meaningful moments—for all residents, visitors, and staff.

CRDL helps residents feel more than just cared for—it helps them feel truly included. By offering opportunities for meaningful interaction, even without words, residents are more likely to feel recognised and valued as individuals. This sense of emotional connection fosters a feeling of community, reducing isolation and reinforcing their place within the social fabric of the care home.
