Description

A premium weighted blanket can help seniors with dementia to relax, reduce anxiety and promotes sleep through deep pressure touch simulation (DPTS).

Using the concept of deep touch pressure stimulation the weighted blanket calms the nervous system to create a feeling of safety and security. These weighted blankets are particularly useful for elderly people experiencing advanced dementia, those who feel anxious and those who feel cold when sleeping or sitting still.

The non-toxic glass beads are evenly distributed within stitched squares, thus providing even body pressure, which stimulates sleep and provides reassuring comfort.

Enliven has found that when people with dementia get anxious and call out for help, wrapping them in a weighted blanket for a while may work to calm them and ensure they feel safe and secure. A great gift for those with dementia or anxiety.
