Dementia and the Holidays: Rethinking Gift Giving with Expert Advice


Listen Later

Welcome to the first episode of our holiday series, Dementia & the Holidays: Support, Stories & Solutions! Host Dawn Platt sits down with Regina Trent, a Senior Memory Care Director, to tackle one of the season's toughest questions: What do you give someone you love who's living with dementia? From re-gifting a beloved scarf that sparked pure joy to making playlists that unlock forgotten memories, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom, touching stories, and dementia stage-specific gift ideas that honor the person behind the diagnosis. Dawn and Regina also dive into Amazon's popular gift list for people with dementia and reveal what a dementia professional really thinks about those recommendations—the good, the questionable, and what's actually missing. If you've ever felt lost staring at generic "top 10" lists, this episode will help you discover what truly matters: your presence, not just your presents.
