Doll therapy helps some residents find great comfort
Some of the residents here at Woodstock Residential Care Home love nothing more than to have a doll to care for and cuddle. Particularly for our residents with Dementia, this kind of therapy can instil a sense of purpose and wonderful feelings of love.
Simply by having a small doll to ‘care for’, some of our ladies experience reduced anxiety, agitation and feeling of stress. Our ladies also enjoy recalling happy memories when looking after their dolls.
