Getting Zinnia TV for Seniors With Dementia
Description
Zinnia TV is an app, a therapeutic caregiving tool especially made for those dealing with memory challenges, such as those with Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's. Allyson Schrier joins Suzanne to talk about Zinnia TV and how it helps those with the illness as well as their caregivers. The app can be downloaded to a phone, tablet, or smart TV. It opens to a library of channels, and each channel has a menu of videos. There are a large number of channels, including the all-day channel, interests channel, places channel, nostalgia channel, and the nature channel.
Allyson says, "People should check out our Facebook page. We're on LinkedIn, and there is a lovely lady named Adria Thompson, whose organization is Be Light and she put together a fabulous — gosh, we were just thrilled — a fabulous video talking about how she uses Zinnia TV. And that is on our Facebook page right now."
The website hosts some sample videos. They're on Facebook and LinkedIn. Zinnia TV subscriptions are $6.99/month, or $69.99/year, with a two-week free trial. Learn more at Zinnia TV.
