Welcome. About this Site.
This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.
It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.
The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.

It also provides laughter, when we realize one of us can't carry a tune, lol. I have laughed a lot with my family when we sing together because eventually I can't resist the temptation to sing in opera or like a rock star. I'm a bit of a ham! Thanks for the great information. I have spent many hours on my smart phone sharing music with my clients. I ask them to give me a song and then I play it. They are amazed every time.
Thank you for sharing my video! There are 4 more in this series about using music in care on my website that you might find helpful. Thanks again!
