A Message for Caregivers

Nostalgia and reminiscence can have significant benefits for the elderly.  Our Media Player is designed for seniors.  It is packed with nostalgic content and lets you easily provide for many of these needs.

 

Caregivers, Activities Directors, and Enrichment Professionals use our Media Player every day to provide properly selected activities for their seniors with and without dementia.

 

If you provide In-Home or Family care.....

     Many seniors can use the Player themselves even when you are not present.  For  others, you can help with program selection and operation of the Player.  Discussion with your seniors about their nostalgic experiences increases the benefits.

 

If you provide care in a Community ....

     Your Media Player selections can be cast to a media room TV, sound system or projector.  It can be used on any personal device or TV in the resident's room.  This helps you satisfy government regulations that mandate an activities program that is relevant and individualized to each resident.  You may select programming in advance and include it in your monthly calendar, making that job much easier.  Click Here to see a sample calendar.

What Helps Dementia?

There is no cure for dementia, but we can improve the quality of life for those affected by it.

              

Reminiscence Therapy involves discussing past events, memories, and experiences, often using prompts like movies, stories, photos or music.  It helps enrich the lives of Seniors both with and without dementia.  It is especially beneficial for those with dementia, as it can help trigger memories, provide comfort, and improve communication.  The therapy aims to boost self-esteem, reduce stress, anxiety and depression, and enhance quality of life by affirming the individual's worth and legacy. 

 

RT is not difficult or mysterious.  Caregivers can promote RT through the use of our Media Player, in addition to items such as personal photos or even simple discussion.  Entertaining your senior with nostalgia, followed by some conversation is all that may be necessary.  This should be done on a regular basis - daily if possible - to produce maximum benefit.  We believe RT should begin as early as possible in the progression of the disease.

Share Our Guiding Principle
