Current Need: Fidget Blankets

Posted on by

We have several requests this year for fidget blankets. People living with dementia typically experience gradual decreases in brain function, and simple, repetitive movements, and sensory stimulation becomes important. As the disease progresses, peoples’ hands become more nervous and fidgety, as they continually search for something to occupy them. Fidget Sleeves and Blankets fulfill this pursuit, and provide senses of comfort through the hands and eyes. They also entertain people with dementia and can lift their spirits.

Holiday Depression

Elderly nursing home residents may have no family and no friends left alive. The holidays can revive memories of what once was and stoke feelings of loneliness, isolation, and depression. According to the Geriatric Mental Health Foundation (GMHF), during the holiday season, the elderly may feel more acutely the passage of time; the absence of parents, siblings, and friends who have died; and the distance of loved ones who have moved away. When traditional celebrations and rituals no longer occur, the holidays may seem empty.

Deliver Some Cheer

If you would like to feel you’ve really made a difference in someone’s life this holiday season, visit a nursing home.

  • Just visit! Take a couple of friends along and sing holiday songs with the residents.
  • Take in some cookies to share (speak to the administrator or activities director first).
  • Make some holiday cards for the residents.
