When I worked in a memory care facility, a few of my residents LOVED to watch YouTube videos of babies laughing. It was like an instant, miracle mood lifter. It lifts my mood too, honestly :)
Project Lifesaver - I know Dementia Support NW can support Whatcom County residents with this program. This is a fantastic, life-saving program to help find missing persons. If your loved one has a tendency to wander, this is a great tool to have to keep them safe and find them quickly.
I came across this app recently for helping caregivers manage stress:
"We know caregivers have limited time, so this short, audio-based course includes quick and simple tools you can build right into your busy life. In just a few minutes per day, you will learn how to break unwanted stress-induced habits and integrate evidence-based self-care behaviors into your caregiving routine."
