Why Buy Memorable Pets and Believable Babies?

  • Our adult appropriate criteria for Memorable Pets was developed with input by geriatric specialist Paula M. Taliaferro, MGS, LSW. Paula's credentials include Education Consultant- Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging; Program Facilitator- Central Ohio Alzheimer’s Association since 1995.  
  • Rachael Wonderlin, MS, provided input for the criteria of Believable Babies. Rachael has a masters degree in Gerontology and is Memory Care Director for a senior care community in Pittsburgh. Rachael also has a blog at www.dementia-by-day.com  Her blog is very informative and inspiring.
  • Memorable Pets and Believable Babies provide loving comfort, a sense of security and purpose, and are a therapeutic tool for nurturing and play.
  • We realize the strong connection between people, their families and household pets. We know from experience, how hard it is to give up a live pet when the time comes because a loved one cannot care for their pet anymore. A plush Memorable Pet can help significantly with this situation, especially in mid-late stages of Alzheimer's disease.  Caring for a realistic looking Believable Baby supports the need for a sense of purpose, to love and be loved that develops in mid - late stages of Alzheimer's.
  • Memorable Pets and Believable Babies meet all US federal safety standards for institutional use, including ASTM F963-07 & ASTM F963-11.
  • We "pay it forward"... we regularly donate products to people in need with dementia and we also support Alzheimer's research!
