I don't want to be too quick to give Mom something like this and risk offending her, but especially in the afternoons (sundowning) she is so fidgety. It seems the more she fidgets the more her anxiety builds, or maybe it's the other way around? I'm seeking input for how effective a fidget quilt is, whether to tailor it to her past life/interests (office worker). She's definitely in Ruby stage (Teepa Snow) now, but she's still somewhat "there" in flashes on her best days. Thanks in advance!
I think the lack of interest was that the fidget quilt really had nothing to interest a man. I'm sure they're made with love and good intent, but there has to be something to interest the elder person, and that can be hard to find for someone creating them for a general population w/o specific knowledge of individuals' interests.
I wonder if they can be created for specific interests, say a fidget quilt of flowers with flexible or interchangeable petals, or sewed in holes to be filled with plastic screws....something more specific to male or female general interests.
Thanks for your input!
