Those of us in the healthcare industry, especially those who work with individuals living with dementia, have experience with the affect music can have on our clients/patients. This is an incredible video that shares the most successful of experiences. Extraordinary caregivers keep searching for the one thing that might increase the quality of life for their client/patient. If you listen early on, you will hear this caregiver say she had been looking for ways to 'connect' with her client for a couple of years - success can be achieved with great persistence and a commitment to 'quality of life'.
Music and Memory
Midwest Home Care provides flexible in-home care for aging family members, as well as those suffering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Our staff is professional and well trained, but most of all we recognize that the person we are caring for is a person and is part of someone's family. That person has a rich life history full of stories and experiences. So we work hard to help where help is needed while at the same time encouraging independence and prolonging a good quality of life.
