Caregivers need better training in reducing falls with dementia patients. The basic info taught and common on the web is short is too simplistic.
There are hundreds of short tips that are less shared, We are hoping to get help in craving a better fall reduction list of strategies.
Cognitive Decline Increases Falls. Stimulate Elastic Brains.
Keep Brain Active

Brain Gym Myth & Reality: May Reduce Dementia But Less Than Hoped. But Keep The Hope & Interest Up.
Using tech to stimulate the mind. Are they proven to be effective? Sadly studies are conflicting. Google the brain gymnastic research.

TV Stimulates The Mind
Gerontologist's and Psychiatrists have stated leaving it on much of the day helps. The bigger the screen the better. Small downside can be its distractive and distractions in general can be tied to more falls.
Simplifying TV Interfaces For Less Tech Oriented Pre Dementia Patients: No easy solution was found. TV sales reps told Innovation Institute some makers have easier interfaces than others. Stick with cable TV which might be simpler than movie apps like Netflix or Hulu...
Add A Sound Bar For Better Audio Effect:
Popular websites we found mostly ignored the need for simplified user interfaces as a topic. But TV sales reps there were only moderate differences between makers and suggest to first try Samsung, and maybe LG. Good news with Apple TV is Apple Tech support has been good, if the patient can even call Apple's 800-275-2273.
• Minimal use, but the best simplified TV info we found. See cognitive decline disclaimers.
• AARP aarp.org and https://www.aarp.org/home-family/personal-technology/info-2021/buying-new-television.html
• PC Guide: https://www.pcguide.com/tv/guide/best-for-seniors/
Conclusion is stick only with cable channels. An extremely large screen (prices dropped more recently). Comcast cable. It might be the simplest interface option. Skip fancy TV Screens with fancy options. Focus on daily operations and less on TV set up for seniors if help is available. Website's cognitive enhancement, without over complicating seniors with tech is also our work in progress. Some said Comcast / Infinity has simpler interfaces than AT&T. Your thoughts?
Hobby Inventing For Brain Health

Whether someone invented it before or not, the inventing process is key. Innovation Institute has been researching methods by which to increase creative intelligence since the 1980's. The methods are proven to work in numerous studies and test groups. Enjoy getting inventive for brain health and fun!
Anyone Can Try "Inventing". Innovation Institute can get almost anyone to believe they can invent. Be careful with pre-dementia patients who apply inventing, to funny, fall stopping or other gadgets that might be dangerous. The mental process for inventing can be purely theoretical, with or without pictures, and with or without a prototype. Supervision suggested.
