Purchase Someone to Love Baby Doll

Dolls have a remarkable effect on women (and men) in the middle and later stages of Alzheimer's disease. They are calming, soothing and bring the person back to a time in their life when they felt useful and had a sense of purpose; when caring for a small family member was the #1 priority. Giving someone a "doll" brings them back to that safe and secure time in their life.

These sweet little babies are very special, bringing pleasure to anyone who holds them. Their beautiful faces and cuddly bodies can’t help but make you smile. They weigh three pounds and are about 17 inches long.

There are a variety of styles:

• Baby April with Pink Romper (blonde hair and blue eyes)
• Baby Sam with Yellow Romper (dark skin, dark hair and dark eyes)
• Baby Carly with Pink Top (brown hair and brown eyes)

"My mother is in an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s. Her doll is her constant companion. In my mother’s mind, the doll is a living being. She cuddles it, talks to it, and exhibits less fearfulness at night when she sleeps with the doll. The familiar occupation of caring for ‘Little Debbie’ seems to remind my mother of her role as an adult. The reduced level of agitation, and even more importantly, the comfort and happiness ‘Little Debbie’ has brought my mother only makes me sad that I didn’t get her a doll sooner. Jill - Caregiver for her Mother

What we like best about this product: These life-like dolls are as perfect as baby dolls get; but the "miracles" they perform far exceed their physical features. The wonderful stories we receive are barely testimony to the wonderful moments (and hours) they create.

"While visiting a dementia unit, a resident approached with a doll buggy. Before she was within earshot I was told that she considered her doll to be her real baby. So when she got closer, I asked her if I could see her baby. She replied, ‘This isn't a baby - it is a doll.’ The staff was astonished. I commented on the cuteness of her doll and asked her how long she had had it. Her reply, ‘Since it was born!’" Kathleen - Alzheimer’s Assn.
