Baby Doll with Blinking Eyes – Alex
Designed to Comfort and Soothe Individuals Living with Dementia
Alex is a soft, lifelike baby girl doll specially designed for use in aged care and dementia support settings. With blinking eyes that open when sitting up and gently close when laid down, Alex provides a comforting, nurturing experience for people living with dementia who respond positively to doll therapy.
Doll therapy can be a valuable tool in aged care, helping to:
-
Reduce anxiety, agitation, and distress
-
Provide comfort and companionship, especially for individuals who may feel isolated
-
Encourage meaningful engagement and communication
-
Promote a sense of purpose through nurturing and care giving roles
-
Trigger positive memories and emotional connections
Alex is ideal for residents who find comfort in caring for others. While her eyes are not fully realistic, her ability to “sleep” when laid down adds to the soothing effect and helps reinforce daily routines such as naps or bedtime.
⚠️ Please Note: A magnet is fitted in the doll’s head to secure the pacifier. This may interfere with pacemakers and electronic devices—please use with caution around sensitive medical or electronic equipment.
