Caring Hands Fidget Pillows

For many Alzheimer's, Dementia, and even Stroke patients, the gradual regression of their memory often leads to unintended habits of fidgeting with their hands. A person with Dementia may pull their clothing or bedding, or rub their hands up and down a surface. Many patients deal with this habit by carrying around small objects such as beads, zippers, buttons, or any other different textured textiles. The simple solution to this is a fidget pillow, something with different textures and materials sewn in for patients, in order to keep their hands busy. The usage of these pillows not only helps create movement, but also induces unique forms of brain acitivity. Together, with the help of donations and materials, we can thrive to spread our caring hands.
