Join us on Monday, June 8, 2026, from 6-7:30 PM EST, for Making the Case for Music in Dementia Care, sponsored by CaringKind and the Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center (ADRC).
Music has a unique ability to reach people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, often fostering connection, comfort, and engagement even when other forms of communication become challenging. During this session, participants will explore the evidence supporting music-based interventions and learn practical strategies for incorporating music into everyday care.
Topics will include:
- The research behind music and dementia care
- How personalized music can improve quality of life
- Ways music can support mood, engagement, and social connection
- Practical tips for using music safely and effectively at home
- Resources available through MUSIC & MEMORY® and IMNF
This educational program is part of the Caregiver Toolkit Series, which provides informative sessions tailored to the needs of family caregivers caring for loved ones with dementia and related cognitive impairments.
