Hi Verna. the fiddle mats I have seen and used are lap blanket size or smaller. The best ones I found were those that draped over the arms of a chair, it kept the mat basically infront of the person. Those that can sit without a wheel chair, I put the mat onto a table and sat them there. Some of the nurses made ours, the possibilities are endless, especially if you have a quilter or crafty person in your midst who has a good imagination. Good luck.
Ah that is a great idea Cathy to use a pillow slip or similar to fit over a tray table for residents who are in gel chairs. I am going to look into that. Cheers
what are the best things to put on a fiddle mat or blanket I have seen many but not actually sat and watched the residents for any length of time to see what is the best design for them
I’m loving your website, it’s been a great help to me over the last six months since I started my new role. Lots of hints and tips, great activities, and it’s great that we can contribute too. It’s fantastic to have such a universal source of information, how we have a common goal and language despite our worldwide locations. Thank you!
Cheers and thanks Verna
