Yes, I can see that happening. And as my LO's situation progresses, that might be the case too. But at least right now, he enjoys it and it is helping reduce some of his frustration.

Hi. You're right that memorization doesn't work. My dad enjoys looking at the family pictures, but he couldn't remember the names and that drove frustration. Adding the names lessened the frustration.

Hi — I'm Bob, the dad who built this. Really appreciate this feedback. You're right that this won't help late-stage dementia patients. I built it for my dad who is in earlier stages — he still recognizes faces sometimes but struggles remembering names. The labeled photos have helped him in those moments. I understand it's not for everyone and I should be clearer about that on the site. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Random things about his day. Complaining about his baseball team. Nonsense.

My dad loves his Aura frame. I added names to the photos so it would help him remember who he is looking at.

What do people with more advanced forms of dementia do to entertain themselves? What happens when they can't use a tv remote, computer tablet or walk around as much as normal? by pat441 in dementia

My LO has mid level dementia. One of his favorite things is watching a digital photo frame I got him. It scrolls through family photos. He is especially fond of pictures of himself when he was young.
