Meet Brett, who participates in the Music & Memory program at the Dementia Alliance of North Carolina. Brett is living with dementia and experiences anxiety, making it difficult for him to stay calm throughout the day and connect with others. However, when he listens to his personalized music playlist, he becomes much calmer and is able to enjoy activities such as watching football with his sister and primary caregiver, Debee.
Thanks to generous donors and supporters, the lives of Brett and seniors just like him benefit from being a part of the Music & Memory program. They’ve all been able to:
- Receive a music playlist loaded with favorite music
- Enjoy countless hours of personal engagement
- Find joy and renewed connection with others
These individuals benefit every day from having access to their favorite music. It enhances their quality of life, restores their sense of identity and connection to others, and provides a foundation for having as much comfort, pleasure, meaning and well-being in their days as possible.
