Help reduce anxiety with a Hug By Laugh Dementia Sensory Doll

Sensory stimulation can improve moods, trigger memories and offer the opportunity for people with dementia to take part in activities.

For example, HUG™ is a soft comforter that is designed to be cuddled. It has weighted limbs and a soft body that contains a simulated beating heart and music player that can be programmed to play a persons’ favourite music.

Research has shown HUG can improve a person's quality of life by reducing anxiety, agitation and enhancing social interaction, making it ideal for those living with dementia or autism.

You can get HUG on Argos for £150, it’s also available direct from the Alzheimer's Society for £129.99, or £108.33 if you qualify for VAT relief.
