"I would just like to say thanks for forwarding the weighted blanket and cushions that arrived last week. They were absolutely beautiful and we must commend you on the lovely workmanship. Please pass on our compliments to the creator of these items. The will be a very pleasant addition to our dementia centre."

"The weighted blanket is really popular among the resident's with dementia. They love the different textures and the weight seems to have a calming effect. I use the blanket for those residents who are hard to engage and are not walking. One of my residents loves to scrunch it up and gets great pleasure from doing this repeatedly. From my point of view, this seems to release all his built up energy - it looks like he is really physically engaged, then and he seems to be really relaxed after this."
"The sensory aprons are beautiful - everyone loves them (including staff). I think that because they are so attractive, staff appear to have more positive interactions with the residents because they are wearing them. From a sensory point of view the residents get great enjoyment and engagement from touching and exploring every part of the apron. I find it is really important to alternate between the aprons, the sensory weighted blanket and other activities, because the residents engage less and like more variety."
