Eugeria's Take

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 is the perfect option for heart centred dementia care resident support

I loved this product the very minute it was in my arms. Have bought one for all our homes and one for training all our teams in orientation on the importance of the Hug, and the importance of the "hand off". I have seen first-hand how much our Residents connect with the Hug and personally seen a change in Resident agitation, their ability to sit-down (vs. pacing) and who doesn't love a good, long Hug??

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 sensory companion designed to bring pleasure and comfort to people living with dementia. HUG is designed to be cuddled and with its weighted limbs, it feels as if it’s hugging you back. HUG also has a beating heart within its soft body and can play music that can be easily changed to a favorite playlist.

How can HUG assists healthcare professionals in caring for people living with dementia?

To some, HUG can be a companion throughout the day. Its soft body and weighted limbs provide a soothing embrace and is a great conversation starter.
For individuals who become agitated at night, HUG can help ease anxiety and decrease loneliness, especially for those who were used to sleeping with a partner.
HUG can also be used as a calming tool during challenging moments where some individuals may become agitated, such as getting dressed, personal hygiene care, taking medication and many other.
