Customer Reviews
At Eugeria, we want to ensure that the new innovations we offer are useful, innovative, dignifying, and backed by research. HUG is the latest in this line of items. Designed by a group of researchers at the Cardiff Metropolitan University, HUG was specifically developed for people with mid to late stages of dementia. We are delighted to see the impact HUG will have in North America!

The HUG has also been a hit with one resident in particular and it has helped him with his stress.
Soft, comforting plush, with the heartbeat that provides both distraction and relaxation after a few minutes. Cradling this plush is like cradling a small, harmless and caring living being, it fills us with joy and brings back some happy memories.
My mother's sleep is much more peaceful since she sleeps with HUG. She is always happy to cuddle with him at night.
Using the HUG has been an effective way of helping our residents feel secure and loved, it has been amazing to see the smiles that a HUG can bring.
HUG is a comfort for Mum. Wherever Mum goes, HUG will go. There is a strong attachment and emotional bond.
