Setting Up Assistive Access on iPhone for Alzheimer's | Dementia-Proofing an iPhone

Caring for someone with dementia often means rethinking how technology fits into their daily life. In this video, Andy from Trusted Life Circle walks through setting up Apple’s Assistive Access — the most effective tool we’ve found for dementia-proofing an iPhone. Assistive Access allows caregivers to dramatically simplify the phone, reduce visual clutter, limit app access, and create a calmer, more predictable experience for someone living with dementia or cognitive decline. 0:00 Dementia iPhone Setup: Assistive Access for Alzheimer’s & Cognitive Decline 0:35 Dementia Phone Tutorials: iPhone, Samsung Galaxy & Google Pixel 1:03 What “Dementia-Proofing” an iPhone Really Means for Caregivers 2:46 Trusted Life Circle App for Dementia Caregivers 3:58 Prepare the iPhone: Wi-Fi, Apple ID & Caregiver Access 4:29 Step 1: Enable Assistive Access on iPhone (Dementia Mode) 4:51 Step 2: Choose Simple Layout & Appearance for Dementia 5:04 Step 3: Add Essential Apps for a Dementia-Friendly iPhone 5:44 Configure Photos App for Alzheimer’s Memory Support 6:08 Configure Calls App (Most Important Setting for Caregivers) 7:25 Configure Camera App for Simple Photo Taking 7:45 Configure Messages App for Safe Communication 8:35 Configure Music App for Comfort & Familiarity 9:14 Review & Reorder Apps in Assistive Access 9:39 Passcodes & Security Settings for a Dementia iPhone 10:57 Entering Assistive Access Mode (Simplified iPhone Interface) 11:11 How Assistive Access Works for People with Dementia 11:35 Fine-Tuning Assistive Access Settings for Caregivers 12:53 Choosing a Familiar Wallpaper for Cognitive Comfort 13:20 Re-Entering Assistive Access Mode 13:34 Adjusting Settings Inside Assistive Access 14:45 Next Steps: Making the Phone a Safe Dementia Care Tool 📱 Important iOS Compatibility Note Assistive Access is available on iPhones running iOS 17 and later. Older iPhone models that cannot be updated to iOS 17 will not have access to Assistive Access. If your loved one’s iPhone does not support iOS 17, you may need to consider a newer device or explore alternative dementia-friendly setups. We cover additional options for Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones in other tutorials on this channel.

Once Assistive Access and other restrictions are enabled, downloading or approving new apps later can become more difficult. Trusted Life Circle is a private social app designed specifically for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
