Why we know this works
Why we know this works
We love Zinnia TV because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we watch regular television agitate the very person a family hoped it would calm. Is TV good or bad for someone with dementia? Ordinary TV is often bad: fast plots, sudden sounds, and loud commercials can confuse and upset the dementia brain. Zinnia TV is built differently, with slow-paced videos, familiar themes, soothing visuals, and simple narration that reduce overstimulation and can ease agitation, restlessness, and sundowning while inviting low-demand participation and reminiscence. Sign up for an annual subscription with code ASKSAMIE20 and take 20 percent off.
It is especially helpful for people living with dementia at any stage and for caregivers who need a calming anchor during mornings, mealtimes, or the hard late-afternoon stretch. If agitation is brand new or sudden, look for a physical cause like pain or a urinary tract infection first, and for hands-on caregiver skills see Video Training: Essential Concepts to Care for Folks with Dementia.
