Groups audience:
I have recently been introduced to Music and Memory programs that have been undertaken in a number of long term care facilities. The program involves the identification of individualized play lists or "personalized music" for residents with dementia. "Henry's story," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyZQf0p73QM piqued my interest to learn more about the program and the evidence to date as to when and how it can be helpful.
There is currently a group of diverse community stakeholders in Durham who are raising awareness about the potential benefits of such a program. If you have experience using personalized music, please share it with us.
