One thought on “Watch Music Come to Rescue of Alzheimer’s

  • Have you heard about the documentary Alive Inside?
    It shows how the re-introduction of music in retirement homes of patients suffering with Dementia and Alzheimer’s can be “awakened” and bring them back to themselves. It’s absolutely awe inspiring!
