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.

Thanks Donna much appreciated.

Cheers and thanks Verna

I used old pillowcases. They can be pulled onto the basic overway table or just on a lap.

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
