The Video Respite series provides caregivers with a resource to improve the quality of life for the person or the people in their care.
Each of the thirteen DVD's also provides the caregiver with a way to improve his or her own quality of life by providing a respite from the challenges of caring. All are designed to hold the attention of people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia through music, light movement, and reminiscence.
The people on the DVD's become very real friends to the people who are watching. As they have a conversation, or sing together, or remember times in the past, you are able to have some time away from the caregiver role, time to prepare a meal, to write a letter, to read a book.
These DVD's are wonderful additions to an overall care strategy. Each provides physical exercise in the form of light movement, socialization, reminiscence, and sensory and cognitive stimulation. All are ideal aids for caring for a person with dementia in the home, and they also work well in a group situation, in nursing homes and Alzheimer’s day care.
