Cuddle Baby - Therapy Doll
Reborn Baby Doll Cuddle Therapy Soothes Alzheimer's and Dementia Patients
Research has found that patients suffering from dementia and alzheimer's tend to be more active and focused when carrying and handling life like baby dolls. Communication, focus, and attitude toward other patients and caretakers is enhanced while agitation is reduced during routine care when they would typically become angry or difficult.
Sue's lil'squishies Cuddle Nursery is dedicated to helping these patients by providing the most realistic dolls possible. One lil'squishy life like reborn doll will be donated yearly to an extended care facility calling home to dementia patients. The ultra realistic look, feel and weight of a lil'squishy cuddle nursery reborn doll supports the feeling of holding a real baby.
In addition to helping geriatric patients, Sue's lil'squishies cuddle reborn dolls can be used in the treatment of depression or in certain cases of autism such as Asperger's syndrome.
A Cuddle Doll can,
- Calm someone who is upset
- Provide endless hours of hugs and smiles
- Lull a person to sleep
- Create a distraction from a dangerous, harmful or upsetting event
- Provide a tool for social interaction
- Regenerate warm, nurturing feelings of once again caring for a young child
- Make it possible for someone, totally dependent upon others, to care for ‘someone’ else
