In case you missed it, last night the Encore Survival Guide put out an episode all about TV! Television can be a helpful tool for an overwhelmed caretaker, but considering the unique situations dementia presents when it comes to consuming media, it's risky to lean on. Thankfully, our owner Laura is here to talk about ways to use TV in your caregiving safely and effectively! If you have any further questions about the interaction between TV and dementia don't hesitate to reach out!
