Our new Twiddle Classic arrived in the mail today. I couldn’t wait to get to the nursing home so I could introduce it to my mother.  After getting the proper name tags heat pressed onto the purple furry fabric, I went to my mother, who had just been laid down for the afternoon.  She was propped up and awake.  I told her she had a present that had just arrived.  She seemed eager and interested.  I presented the purple pal.  She immediately  took it in her left hand and began exploring it.  Her right hand is rather useless, so she picked it up left-handed and put it to her face, held the beads, held the ball inside the “muff” and entertained herself the rest of the afternoon. We both listened to music via my smartphone and a split jack for two headsets. The easy-listening music put her at ease as she took ownership of the Twiddle.   I was so happy to be able to leave it with her.  I informed the CNA’s about her new friend and encouraged them to be sure she has it with her. This is a similar idea of the activity mat which is also well received by my mother.

Perhaps you have some similar ideas that have worked well for you.  Please share.
