"My name is Angela and I am a hospice RN. I had a patient who used the TwiddleMuff and loved
it - she would tell me " this is the best gift I have ever received". She has since passed away,
but loved the TwiddleMuff so much. I wanted to write and let you know that for a person who
works with the elderly for a living, I love it!!!! I have been telling everyone about it and giving
your website out to family and friends as well as colleagues. Thank you for not forgetting about
our elders."

"My Care Manager suggested I look into your product and without hesitation I ordered the Pup.
I purchased the Twiddle-Pup for my husband, Ken, who is in skilled nursing suffering from
Alzheimer’s. I took it to my husband today and put it in his lap and put his hand inside to hold
the ball. You can’t imagine the big smile he got on his face. He doesn’t verbalize, but he did
manage to say “Awwww”. The nurses are concerned that he may put the wooden beads in his
mouth or try to pull off the ribbons. To show them just how strongly the are put on, she pulled
on the ribbons and nothing happened. I put his name and room number on the pocket, so it
won’t get lost. He showed great interest in his new “pet” and when we went to leave he was
petting it just like he pets our 4 dogs. I can’t thank you enough for this great toy."

"We have been wildly excited about the TwiddleMuff (the name always gets a few chuckles at
the morning meeting table). We most often use the TwiddleMuff with our Alzheimer’s and
Dementia residents. We find it most often used with residents whom have busy hands,
boredom, anxiety about being alone, frequent scratches and bruising. We now have four in our
163 bed facility. They do get passed around a bit, so infection control is an issue. It is a plus
that the TwiddleMuff make it though the washing machine unscathed.   We find the TwiddleMuff
to be incredibly soothing and comforting to our residents!"

"Thank you so much for coming up with these TwiddleMuffs. My husband has had one for two
years now - he holds it 24/7 and he is an Alzheimer's patient. It is extremely comforting -
Thanks again."

"On March 6, I spoke to you about the purchase of a twiddle-muff for my 91 year old mother who
has dementia and arthritis and lives with my husband and me. The day I brought it home, it was
a big hit. She “played” with it for about four hours that day and since then, each day she spends
some time fiddling around with it. She really enjoys the fringe and is always neatly arranging it.
This gives her something else to do besides watch TV or read. I’m just amazed at the amount of
time she spends “playing” with it. Since it is too difficult for her to do puzzles or word games and
she can no longer knit or crochet, the twiddle-muff is perfect to help stimulate her mind."

"This item is fantastic - it is so soft and the ability to put your hands inside and use the very soft
squeezie ball is great for sensory stimulation. We have purchased five so far."
Sue - Illinois

"My Mom, who is 90 years old, and lives in assisted living, immediately loved her Kitty and found
the ball inside to be very interesting. I can't say whether she will keep it there, as sometimes if
things are too 'different' for her, she's make adjustments. My Mom noted the Kitty fit well on her
walker seat. She has one of those that are very popular right now being a walker with a seat
that opens to a small storage basket. Because it fit well there, she plans to take it for a ride to
show others when she attends her meals."

"My Mother-in-Law, who is less mobile and spends most of her time in a wheel chair, also loved
her Kitty, naming it 'Snowflake'. My Mother-in-Law has a very serious problem with cold hands
and she immediately recognized it as a muff for which she was very glad to have.   She spends
quite a bit of time on her personal computer and we noted she now keeps it on top of the screen
where she can easily get to it when her hands get too cold when typing."

"I showed the TwiddleCat and TwiddleMuff to a number of the staff at our Assisted Living unit
and we really like it! We will be purchasing a few for our sensory stimulation program."
Jodi - Activity Director at Alden of Waterford, Aurora, Illinois

"The comfort we see when residents are using this item is amazing - the softness and being
able to put their hands inside and use the very soft squeezie ball is great for sensory
stimulation. We have purchased five so far."

"I purchased a TwiddleCat for my grandmother (a.k.a. "Nanny" ) for Christmas and I wanted to
let both of you know it is a hit. Nanny is 93 years old and the sweetest lady you will ever meet.
She is all of 4' 8" and until suffering a stroke 5 years ago, enjoyed walking 4 miles per day.
Sadly, she now has no movement in her right arm and spends most every day at my mother's
home reading or in front of a television until returning to her assisted living home each evening.
According to mom, "Kitty" is always on her lap or close by and if not, my grandmother is asking
for it as it keeps her hands both warm and occupied. And that's been the case ever since
Christmas so apparently, you have created a real hit and I thought you would want to know."
Niles – Naperville, Illinois

"We gave a TwiddleCat to a long-term cat owner who had, for many years, slept with a real cat
on her bed. The TwiddleCat now sits on her lap while she keeps her hands warm and active
inside and then, at night, it takes it's rightful place on her bed. She is very comforted to have
the cat with her all the time. The family was impressed that we were able to meet her needs by
giving her something that has meaning in her life. I'm so glad that you make such a wonderful
product!"
Stephanie - Activity Director at The British Home, Brookfield, Illinois

"It's like you know my Mom! This is just what she needs as she is constantly picking away at
things around her as well as her own skin at times. The TwiddleMuff will give her something to
work on and give her a soft comfortable creature at the same time. Thank You!"
Jean - Grown daughter of Nursing Home resident

"I have been passing around the article from the Naperville Sun this morning. I work with a lot of
people dealing with elderly parents and this is the niftiest thing I have seen!"
Karen - Naperville, Illinois

"One day, when I visited my mother who had advanced Alzheimer's I noticed how she spent time
playing with her bed rail and I was struck by how much like an infant she had become. I shortly
got her a teddy bear to play with which she liked, but it always had dropped to the floor the next
time I came. I did not do much more than keep putting the teddy back in her bed as I guess, I
considered the situation hopeless. However, the idea of providing her with something fixed to
play with (almost like a child's mobile) did cross my mind.

As I sit and think now, on your products. I cannot help but think that this was my precious
mother... No matter how far gone she was, there were more things I might have done to add to
her 'day to day' life experience. You have created something, I'm sure mom would have loved
during part of this very difficult journey she had to go on."
Brian – Toronto, Ontario

"I saw this in the SUN...I'm getting it for my 95 year old Aunt! I hope she likes it!"
Susan - Naperville, IL

"Thank you for remarkably speedy delivery!"

"This is just really clever! There are a lot of conditions that would benefit from a TwiddleMuff."
