Sara,
What a nice granddaughter you are!
When my mother-in-law was in a nursing home she was confined to a
wheelchair.  She had just started with alzheimers.  I took a butcher
apron and stitched 6" x 6" squares of different textured material to it.
I used satin, terry cloth, burlap and artificial fur.  Anything that I
could find that was washable.  Put her name "Mary" right on the front, so
it wouldn't walk away.  She loved it.  It was her favorite, she fingered
it all day.
I also found that it helped to visit all the time even if I could only
stay 5 minutes.  And vary the time, so you visit at all different times.
Sorry this is so long.
Good luck, Sara.
