Wiser Now Wednesday is a free, downloadable, printable, weekly e-newsletter that offers brain-stimulating and lighthearted engagement opportunities for both family and professional caregivers. It provides instant, ready-to-use programming for activity professionals and home health care staff. It is also easy for families to use at home or when visiting their loved one in a long-term care setting.
The content, which includes quotes, fun facts, quirky observations, questions for discussion, and a trivia quiz, is always non-controversial and often humorous. Readers of all ages enjoy having a fun and curiosity-stimulating way to interact with the person they are caring for, and the person being cared for appreciates having an interesting topic of conversation provided for them. While people living with dementia may not know the answers to the trivia quizzes, they enjoy learning the answers, which are always provided.
