4. My mother's nursing home

has WiFi. When she first went there, she was able to use her personal laptop to access her regular news channels, and I set up her streaming services for her. We also got her a phone service that was specifically for seniors with dementia, and I was able to limit her outgoing calls and calling times in order to avoid the issues you mentioned. Since then, her dementia has progressed to the point where none of that matters to her anymore.

I hope that you are not faced with the issues she has been, and that you are able to continue to use WiFi and the internet.

Peace
