Best music players for people with mid stage dementia

Merla

I would like to get my mom some type of device where she could listen to music in her room in the long term care facility. She is in stage 4 of dementia and can operate her phone and other simple devices.

I’m not sure what type of device would work best. A radio or some type of streaming device which someone could set up for her. I just want it to be simple so she can operate it on her own.

My husband is 72 and has a huge CD collection. I found a very simple CD/radio on Amazon that he can use. He broke several prior to this one. He no longer uses the phone well, though. Your mom may be able to use something else. If she or a caregiver could speak to "Alexa" that is another easy way to request music if she has the app on her phone and wifi there.

We found this one to be pretty good—easy to use and includes a usb option: https://relish-life.com/en-us/products/relish-radio

You get 3 presets: We tuned it to the local oldies radio station, a sports radio station and a third we thought he’d like but will probably swap based on his input so far.

My mom actually uses you tube on her tv. She loves to watch crafting videos but also sometimes listens to music. She has been using it awhile. It is pretty easy to use and the algorithm helps so there is always something she likes.
