Dementia Toy "Tactile Turn" - Hand Occupation for People with Dementia

This dementia toy can help keep the hands occupied and may help ease stress and anxiety. The focus is on the doing rather than the achieving.

Carefully designed - with contrasting colors and textures (ribbed and velvet) to engage the senses.

The thoughtful design was created specifically for more mature age groups and the later stages of dementia.

Easy to hold, stimulating but not overwhelming, large enough not to be fiddly, but not too large to be cumbersome.

The calming fidget motion of the tactile turn can keep hands occupied and the mind focused.

As with all relish products, this was trialled and tested by a network of carers, care homes and people with dementia, who provided valuable insights that fed into the design process.
