Music & Memory®: Making Life More Beautiful.
Music & Memory® is an evidence-based music therapy program that uses the power of personalized music to stimulate memories, manage behavior, reduce agitation, and support individuals facing the challenges of dementia. We are proud to be a Music & Memory® Certified Care Organization.
Music & Memory® is an evidence-based, side-effect-free way to:
→ Decrease depression and anxiety and improve quality of life
→ Reduce reliance on anti-psychotic, antidepressant, and pain medications
→ Increase happiness, sociability, and receptiveness to family visits
→ Tap into deep memories and activate cognition
Music healing minds
Music & Memory® helps people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia reconnect to the person they were before in an engaging and meaningful way. Our professionally-trained specialists create playlists that are meaningful to each client, including songs and recordings from their past. Our residents tell us that those songs bring back memories and give them a sense of joy that may have been lost for years.
Not just for Alzheimers
Listening to beloved musical favorites can improve quality of life for seniors dealing with a variety of impairments and disorders, including those who:
→ Are bed-bound, or on dialysis or ventilators
→ Experience chronic pain
→ Are receiving hospice care
