Rediscovering Holiday Joy: Dementia-Friendly Celebrations for Families

Rediscovering Holiday Joy: Dementia-Friendly Celebrations for Families

Join Host Dawn Platt and guest Regina Trent, a senior memory care director, for the third episode in our holiday series, "Dementia & the Holidays: Support, Stories & Solutions," as they explore how to rediscover the magic of the holidays when dementia changes everything you once knew.

Regina shares how families can let go of past expectations and create new traditions that bring genuine joy – from decorating trees and wreaths together to transforming a simple outing into an unforgettable memory. Learn why simplicity beats perfection, how timing your celebrations can make all the difference, and why a cup of cocoa in a vintage Santa mug might mean more than an elaborate gathering.

This episode offers honest, heartfelt guidance on balancing connection with overstimulation, honoring grief while finding joy, and reimagining what the holidays can be when you focus on what truly matters: comfort, familiarity, and being present together. This is about more than adapting, it's about rediscovering the heart of the holidays in ways that honor both your loved one and yourself.
