APPTA & AGE-WELL Policy Round with Bill Uniowski: More Than Just Entertainment: How Dementia-Friendly TV Videos Enhance Care and Connection

April 30 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

 

Description:

 

Television is often seen as passive entertainment, but new research suggests that dementia-friendly TV videos can be powerful tools for enhancing the well-being of individuals with moderate to severe dementia. This presentation explores the perspectives of nurses and healthcare providers on the use of these videos in long-term care and hospital settings. Through key findings from focus groups, we will examine how TV videos can calm distress, foster social connections, support daily activities, and reignite personal memories. Join us to discover how this simple intervention is reshaping dementia care through person-centred, non-pharmacological approaches.

 

Speaker: Bill Uniowski, CEO, Zinnia
