The short film below was created to encourage and inspire the 42 million older adults in this country, and to help remind everyone that the hopes, dreams, and ambitions of those over 65 are not only alive and well; they are as vibrant and strong as ever.

Did you know that dementia can disrupt a personโ€™s internal clock, or circadian rhythm? This can affect sleep, energy levels, and daily routinesโ€”but as a caregiver, you can help reset and maintain that rhythm.

Alexandra Kaplan, IOAโ€™s Lead Caregiver Coach, shares simple ways to help:

โœ”๏ธ Morning: Open blinds, turn on lights, and play energizing music.
โœ”๏ธ Evening: Dim lights, play calming music, and offer relaxing activities like tea.
โœ”๏ธ Throughout the day: Keep a consistent routine with activities that bring purpose and meaning.
