My mother-in-law is in a nursing home and Alexa-type devices are not allowed due to HIPPA. Other facilities may have the same rule in place. If they don't, then Alexa would be a good workaround. 


Some Roku players come with a voice remote. The only trick would be if they could understand to press the button to use the voice function. I realize that is the trick for some people. My Dad can't remember anything we tell him 5 minutes later. But he still has the memory to use the TV remote, so remembering a button for voice might work.

Where did you get the cookie for the last item watched to show up when restarting? Can you provide a brief description for how you set up the app/channel with his favorite channels? My partner is on her own journey through dementia and your solutions sound great!
