Using You Tube

There is a now a wealth of material on the internet that can be helpful when caring for someone with dementia. One of the things that may not be an obvious resource is YouTube, a website full of film and music clips.

This type of resource can make visiting someone with dementia in a care home much more enjoyable for both those with dementia and their visitors.

When caring for someone at home or visiting someone in care, the use of a PC or laptop that is connected to the inernet will allow you to spend time singing along to favourite and familiar songs, often with the added benefit of a film clip to accompany it. The range of material available allows you to choose whatever is most suitable for your relative.

To help you we provide a library of links to YouTube pages that may be of interest.

Unfortunately due to the nature of YouTube and that it relies on users to share content from time to time videos may become unavailable. If any of the videos we link to become unavailable we will try to replace them as soon as possible.
