Our Tom Reborn doll is a doll that encourages empathy and communication. Indeed, his little smile and closed eyes evoke well-being and a sense of accomplishment in the resident who takes care of him. A person interacting with Tom naturally adopts a calm, caring and protective posture.
Reborn dolls have many beneficial effects on reminiscence, well-being and movement. Indeed, a resident caring for a doll awakens reflexes and habits inscribed in the procedural memory, and naturally knows how to take good care of it. Often, the senior is more relaxed and open to communication, making it easier to express needs or to receive certain health care services, for example. The resident who interacts with a Reborn doll will also be unconsciously working on maintaining certain motor functions. The simple act of rocking the baby, changing its clothes or cuddling it will effectively act on several components of cognitive-motor practice.
Louise Vendette, a nurse with experience working with the senior clientele, is the creator of the Tom Reborn doll. Through her creative process, she adapts the dolls to the needs of the residents.
Having Reborn dolls at your seniors’ fingertips means bringing warmth and comfort to their daily lives!
