At The Cottage in The Avenues of Fort Bend in Missouri City, TX, residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s are experiencing a heartwarming new addition to their daily routine: Baby Doll Therapy. This innovative program, introduced in partnership with Remarkable Hospice, offers memory care residents a unique way to engage, reminisce, and find comfort.
Embracing the Nurturing Spirit
In these sessions, residents are invited to hold and care for life-like baby dolls, sparking memories of nurturing moments from earlier stages of life. The dolls serve as more than just objects; they become companions that encourage gentle reflection and calm engagement.
Angela Boyd, Executive Director, shared, “The reactions from our residents are unforgettable. Watching someone cradle a doll and remember moments from their past reminds us that small, thoughtful experiences can bring meaningful comfort to their day.”
Dom Grant, Memory Care Coordinator, adds, “Watching residents interact and share their stories is truly rewarding, and it brings a lot of great connection to everyone in the room.”
A Therapeutic Touch
Baby Doll Therapy has become an integral part of daily routine at The Cottage—residents requiring memory care benefit from the structure and consistency these sessions provide. The program not only offers emotional comfort but also fosters a sense of purpose and connection among participants.
