Alzheimer's Gifts
Our Handmade Alzheimer's gifts prioritize tactile comfort, recognizing the importance of sensory engagement for individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia. From soft textures to soothing fabrics, these aids provide a sense of security and familiarity, promoting calmness and well-being.
Designed with cognitive stimulation in mind, our handmade gifts offer activities and features that engage the mind. Textures and carefully chosen elements provide mental exercises, encouraging moments of focus and mental agility for individuals facing Alzheimer's challenges.
Fidget blankets are available in three different sizes. They are lightweight, warm and comforting. They are made using a combination of fabrics that have been carefully chosen to provide a mixture of textures. Each blanket is backed in soft, fleece material.
If you would like a fidget blanket custom made around a specific theme, place, colour or using your own photos, please email Grace at info@theowltree.ie or call on 087-6168647.
Customized blankets may take up to 2 weeks to make.
Each photo memory blanket measures approx. 30" square and is made up of 9 individual squares. Blankets are backed using soft fleece and on the front we use a variety of fabrics to add texture.
