Video Respite DVD – Sharing Favourite Things

This interactive DVD was specifically created for those with middle to late stage Alzheimer?s. Designed to provide a break from one-to-one caregiving, the DVD captures and maintains the attention of the viewers and has proven effective in individual and small group settings. It provides a pleasurable and positive experience for each viewer by featuring a warm, friendly individual ‘visiting’ with them, making positive statements and gestures to them while leading them in sing-alongs and related hand, arm, and leg movements to familiar music. On this DVD, Joyce discusses pleasant memories of growing up, including hometowns and parents. She shares a visit with a darling one-year-old child and even a lively dog. 38 minutes.
