Relaxing with warm towels is a great idea to do with someone with dementia. Take a small washcloth and soak it with water. Squeeze out the water. You can put some scents like oranges or lemons on it. Warm it up in the microwave. To have this readily available throughout the day invest in a small towel warmer box. Place the cloth in the person's hand. You can also engage by holding hands with the towel warming. Apply the warm towel to the face, arms, or shoulders. Make sure the towels are not scolding hot. Allow the towels to cool down.
