Choosing the best dolls for dementia patients depends on a variety of factors, such as the patient’s age and the stage of their dementia.
Generally speaking, dolls with soft fabric bodies and no sharp edges are ideal since these provide comfort while reducing the risk of injury.
For elderly patients, lifelike “reborn” dolls may be most appropriate as they can help to trigger memories of past experiences and conversations.
If a patient is in an advanced stage of dementia and has difficulty recognizing people due to their condition, it may be beneficial to choose a doll that is gender-neutral or based on an animal rather than a human figure.
It’s also important to ensure that the doll is easy to clean and maintain if it will be handled frequently by staff or patients.
Here are some of the dolls we recommend for doll therapy.
