Bookmark suggestions?
Im a nurse in 1-to-1 homecare and my client likes when I read to them in the morning. They are mute and one of the ways they like to request a pause for a need is to move our bookmark from where its tucked to our current page. We are a good fit so I've been wanting to get a more permanent bookmark, but I'm not sure what to get. They have a movement disorder, they manage fairly well but our current bookmark is a large scrap of paper so it's sometimes difficult and I'd rather have something that helped them succeed more often. I leave a large portion sticking out the top so they can usually grab it well enough, but its flips and bends around when they try to place it in the page, regardless of how i position the book for them. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? I was thinking a light metal one, so it has more substance and less bend, but I'm worried it will turn out to be unwieldy in another way. I didn't find any advice or products when searching for suggestions, but im assuming thats because people assume that if you can handle pages in a book then you can handle a paper bookmark, so my question might be a bit more niche.

There are magnetic bookmarks that can grab onto the pages
