Description
Professional caregivers rave about the effectiveness of Twiddle®Muffs. It has long been known that having something to hold and manipulate, something to “twiddle” or figgit with, can have a calming effect on people who suffer from dementia. The textures, the gadgets, the warm coziness of the Twiddles® are all there for just that. The focus and the stimulation they provide truly adds to the quality of life of the individual.
The Twiddle® gadgets are detachable allowing the Muff to be machine cleaned. Muffs have been put through many machine washing cycles, and still look and feel and work like new!
According to Corie Larocque, Alzheimer’s coordinator for Brighton Gardens in Wheaton, IL, “(The Twiddle®Muffs) immediately help calm the resident, directing their focus and energy on one thing. In my experience, the muff does reduce the need for meds.”

An occupational therapist recommended the Twiddle Muff for my mother, and we could not be more pleased. Without compromising her dignity, her muff occupies her hands and keeps them away from mischief. We had an issue with the original muff, but Best Alzheimer’s Products remedied it quickly and courteously. We highly recommend this product.

wonderful
My mom takes great comfort from keeping her hands inside the muff, and she likes gripping the ball inside. This has reduced the skin picking quite a bit. She seems to like the tactile stimulation of occasionally fingering the attachments. Kudos to whoever created the muff!

What a fabulous thing
I was having trouble with my mom tearing paper, picking at her skin, just nervous behavior. This muff is perfect for her. She has things to touch and seems to particularly like the fringe which she will touch all day long. I guess she just needed something to do with her hands.
