Are you a caregiver seeking new ways to make life more comfortable for a loved one with dementia? Today's episode highlights an often-overlooked aspect of dementia care: maintaining physical comfort in daily activities. This aspect is crucial yet rarely discussed in depth on many websites offering dementia care advice.
Lizette interviews Janice from Tausi Pillows (https://tausibrands.com/), who created a neck pillow designed for people with dementia. Janice shares the inspiration behind creating Tausi, which stemmed from seeing her father slumped over uncomfortably in his memory care unit.
She wanted to provide a dignified and comfortable solution for him. Through a detailed explanation, Janice describes the unique design of Tausie with a U-shaped foam insert that supports the head and neck, keeping them in an upright position to prevent discomfort and neck pain.
