144 | You Don’t Need to Entertain Someone with Dementia 24/7

In this original What the Dementia episode, we will discuss the common misconception that caregivers must provide 24/7 entertainment for their loved ones with dementia. We'll explore why constant engagement isn't necessary—and may even be harmful—and offer practical alternatives to help caregivers balance activity, rest, and personal time. This episode will cover: — Debunking the myth of 24/7 entertainment for dementia care. — Balancing activity and rest for both caregivers and those with dementia. — Understanding and leveraging the interests of the person with dementia. — Utilizing community resources and support systems. — Encouraging quality interactions over quantity.
