Baby Doll Diane "Therapy Doll"

Therapy dolls have a remarkable effect on women and men in the middle and later stages of Alzheimer's disease. They are calming, soothing and bring the person back to a time in their life when they felt useful and had a sense of purpose; when caring for a young family member was the #1 priority. Alzheimer’s doll therapy helps patients escape from a world where someone is always caring for them.

Giving someone a "baby" doll brings them back to that safe and secure time in their life. These sweet little babies are very special, bringing pleasure to anyone who holds them. Their beautiful faces and cuddly bodies can help but make you smile. Dementia care is never easy, but seeing the joy that these dolls bring turns therapy into a rewarding experience that enriches the lives of everyone involved.

She's dressed in a sweet pink and white dot layette set. Set includes removable bubble suit, super soft socks, hat and cozy blanket. Our Diane Therapy Doll is an anatomically correct 'real' girl with moveable arms, legs and head. She's is made completely on vinyl so she can be bathed and easily spot cleaned.

"My mother is in an advanced stage of Alzheimers. Her doll is her constant companion. In my mother's mind, the doll is a living being. She cuddles it, talks to it, and exhibits less fearfulness at night when she sleeps with the doll. The familiar occupation of caring for the doll seems to remind my mother of her role as an adult. The reduced level of agitation, and even more importantly, the comfort and happiness this doll has brought my mother only makes me sad that I did not get her a doll sooner."
