MEMORY CARE

This is Us!
On Music Memory Lane, we don’t just play music we use it intentionally to promote joy, connection, and engagement. Our Music Memory Care program is grounded in years of hands-on experience and supported by research demonstrating the positive impact of music on mood, cognition, and social interaction for those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The Power of Music

We witness it every day the way a familiar melody can light up a face, tap a foot, or spark a story long thought forgotten. Music has a unique ability to reach beyond memory loss, reawakening joy and connection in ways words often cannot.
