Dementia TV

Ed1937

I just came across this site. It is TV made for dementia, and looks really good. I don't have any first hand experience with it, but I think it's worth looking at. https://watch.zinniatv.com/browse  https://watch.zinniatv.com/browse  You can get a good idea of what it offers before signing up. Monthly price is $6.99, but if you sign up for a year, it's a little more affordable. Maybe try it for a month first??

That does look really good Ed...passed it along to our MC activities director.  Wbo knows, maybe they'd buy a subscription for the unit

It looks interesting but I can't tell if you can pick a topic and it will play videos one after another?  My husband has trouble with remotes and he will be in a memory care unit.  He probably won't be able to choose video after video.  And I don't know if the staff will be able to do it for him.

They offer a free trial, so that should answer your questions. If you take the trial, please post on this thread to let others know what you found.

Ed - thank you.  I'm always looking for ways to keep DH engaged and not sleeping all day, so I will check into this.  I'll also pass this along to my daughter who is a director of a memory care facility.  This could be a great idea for the residents.
