Music wellness has been shown to be particularly effective in those dealing with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.  Live music stimulates mental and physical function, maximizing overall health.  Assisted living and memory care includes interaction with residents and a custom program for each occasion.  For example, if a program is for Valentine's Day and old-time love songs are requested, an interactive talk with those in attendance can include history of the songs and a sing along.
