Episode 52: NURTURE THERAPY

Episode 52: NURTURE THERAPY

On this episode of The Manchester Living Podcast, host Brian Levy welcomes Tonja Moon, founder of The Grandbaby Project, and Sandi Levy, RN, BSed, CDP, Director of Nursing at Manchester Care Homes, for a powerful discussion on the growing role of nurture therapy—also known as doll therapy—in elder care.

Tonja shares the inspiration behind The Grandbaby Project, a heartfelt initiative that provides lifelike dolls to individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. She explains how these carefully designed dolls foster emotional connection, ease anxiety, reduce agitation, and offer a renewed sense of purpose and comfort to residents.

Sandi contributes her clinical expertise and firsthand experience, offering moving stories of how doll therapy has made a profound impact on residents, families, and caregivers alike. Together, they explore the science, sensitivity, and soul behind this unique approach to memory care—reminding us that healing doesn’t always come in the form of medication.

This episode is a must-listen for families, professionals, and anyone passionate about improving the quality of life for our aging population.
