[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would see if you can find the old shows your mom used to like when she was younger, or older movies. those kids of things are likely to be comforting since she is more likely to remember them than shows she watched just 5-10 years ago.[/quote] DP here Yes, I think this is a good point. My mom passed away from dementia last year, and I remember that her caregiver would always have "Friends" on the tv in her apartment. My mom never watched "Friends" when it was on originally in the 90s, so it was weird that her caregiver always had it on in the last couple years. We (siblings and I) maybe should have found and suggested some of the shows my mom liked when she was younger-Maybe "Dallas" or "Murder she wrote" or "Masterpiece theater" from PBS. My mom was born in 1948 for context.[/quote]
