Watching films with a loved one with Dementia may seem daunting and too difficult when taking into consideration concentration, attention span and being able to follow a storyline.<\/p>\n

However, some films, especially those with music, can be brilliant (and so rewarding) for those living with Dementia and for us to share with them.<\/p>\n

Choosing a film with lots of music and a simple plot line can really help and keep your loved one engaged and entertained throughout.<\/p>\n

Some films that you may want to try are:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
