What are dementia aids?

Dementia aids are sensory products that bring calm and stimulate the senses in a pleasant way. Dementia can bring restlessness, anxiety and disorientation, and familiar, gentle stimuli help restore a feeling of safety. A Bubble Tube with fish and a Fibre Optic Sensory Set offer calm visual input to watch, while a Koosh ball, Massage ball and the Manimo Full Moon Stress Ball activate the hands and sense of touch. A Manimo Weighted Cat provides calming deep pressure with its weight and something familiar to hold. These aids are widely used in care settings and at home to bring calm and make contact.

Choosing dementia aids

When choosing a dementia aid, the main things to consider are the sense, recognition and use:

  • Sense: visual calm with a bubble tube or sensory set, or tactile input with a massage ball or Koosh ball.
  • Recognition: choose something familiar, such as a weighted cuddly toy in the shape of a cat to hold.
  • Use: aids for calm, one-to-one moments or for a stimulating sensory corner.

Pay close attention to what the person responds well to, because this differs from individual to individual. Calm, familiar stimuli offer reassurance and can help reduce restlessness and make contact.
