We were delighted to receive a donation of handmade Twiddle Muffs for our residents from friends of relatives of a previous resident.
Twiddle Muffs are cosy, knitted tubes of wool in which patients can rest their hands on their laps. Attached to the inside and outside of the muff are lovely bits and bobs to play and ‘fiddle’ with… buttons, ribbons, bells, glittery pompoms, and even small, knitted toys.
Twiddle Muffs are very popular with patients with dementia, who often have agitated hands and need some gentle, reassuring distraction.
The donation was gratefully received, and our residents love them!
