I was interested by a news item on a local tv programme that our local hospital Maidstone are trialling the use of colourful top blankets for beds used by patients with dementia. The blankets are knitted and to a size not to hang over the bed so not adding to falls risk and are aimed to help a patient with dementia orienteer back to their bed. My first thought was great idea to try for some at a certain stage...wouldn't have helped dad who was well beyond that stage when in hospital..and germ cross contamination between swop of patients but they are given to the patient to take home. Interesting initiative worth trying.
