DESIGNED TO BRING COMFORT AND JOY TO PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA

HUG™ is a soft comforter designed to be cuddled. It has weighted limbs and a soft body that contains a simulated beating heart and a music player that can be programmed to play a person’s favourite music. Research has shown HUG can improve a person’s quality of life by reducing anxiety, and agitation and enhancing social interaction.

The daughter of someone living with dementia said,

‘HUG is a comfort for Mum. Wherever Mum goes, HUG will go. There is a strong attachment and emotional bond.’

Chris who is living with dementia said,

‘I think a lot of people living with dementia don’t know how they’re feeling or why they’re feeling a particular way, and the comfort that the HUG doll will bring people in those situations is just really calming, a soothing effect, and it makes you feel loved.’
