My dad has been in memory care for a year and a half (vascular dementia). It's been a bumpy ride but it was getting too much for my mom to have him at home.
Will have to check this out if I get it on my streaming services.
No but have heard things. We take him to a live music activity a lot and he loves it. Plus, we put a CD player and CDs in his room and they are about the only thing that stays on a shelf and hasn't been misplaced yet.
I really want to see this. I hope it comes to the Bay Area. Or becomes available to stream. I have written about this in many posts, but I have been DPOA of my aunt since 2020 and have managed her from living alone independently to developing dementia to getting her into assisted living and now in memory care. I am always looking for media that captures these important stories with nuance and honesty and wisdom, and this sounds like it does that.

Did you see this article? Definitely connects to the importance of music in the treatment process! https://www.forbes.com/sites/evaamsen/2025/06/24/memory-is-shaped-by-the-music-we-listen-to/?ctpv=searchpage&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Sorry to hear that. The film is definitely worth a look.

I hope so. I'd love to hear what you think after you see it.
Interesting! Though Mom was not in memory care, it reminds me of her adjustment to the nursing home and how nice some of the staff were.
Yes, it's worth checking out.
