For families living with Alzheimer's or dementia
Memory Care Music
Personalized music for Alzheimer's and dementia care, built on the neuroscience of memory. The songs from someone's teens and early twenties tend to stay reachable when other memories are not. We build new songs from that era, their culture, and the memories your family shares with us.

What the research says
Music-based interventions could reduce depressive symptoms and behavioral problems in dementia (Cochrane Review, 2018). Musical memory is often preserved in Alzheimer's because the brain regions that hold it are among the last affected, and familiar music is a strong trigger for autobiographical memory. Personalized playlists are used in thousands of care communities through programs like Music & Memory.
