My mom had Alzheimers - for 11 years. During teh last few years, her speaking was usually gibberish, sometimes sing-songy kinds of things like "Bump-itty-ump!" Once in a great while, three word phrases. Two of the last things she said to me that involved legitimate words were "I love you", which I think was triggered because she realized we were leaving and her brain remembered that is something you say as a parting phrase. She followed that up with "you go now", which sounds like a command but it was more observational. The music thing though. Well, I wanted to share this. One time, the nursing home had this one-man-polka band come to the place. He played in this little community room to a bunch of non-verbal people in skilled nursing. So, we visited with mom while he was playing, and she really enjoyed it. She was singing along, but it was 100% gibberish. Still, she was responding and having a grand time. So the guy finishes a song, and says "Oh, she remembers the old country, where is she from?" I do not know why I said this, I wasn't being a wise guy, but for some reason I said "Germany". My mom was of English descent, at some point in the early 1800's or 1700's came to the U.S. and thus started generations of dirt-farming sharecroppers. But I told the guy Germany for some reason. He says he's going to sing a song for her in German, so he starts playing this polka at his giant keyboard thing with fake drums and everything sampled in. He's singing along, mom's singing along in gibberish, the guys says "Look, she knows the song!" Mom's there banging her hand as hard as she can on the table to the music, she's gibberish singing a language that was gibberish to her and having a grand old time. It was probably the best visit we ever had with her during her 18 months there. The next day, the nursing home calls me up. We don't know what happened, but your mother is rubbing her left hand a lot, she's hurt it somehow, so we're going to have it x-rayed. I knew how that happened! x-ray was negative, she didn't break anything, she just enjoyed some polka music!
What an amazing story, no matter what it is that brings them around, we must find it. Music speaks in all languages, no one can NOT understand it. Words are just fillers to the sound. I'm so glad you all had a good time. Watching someone you love, go into a realm you can not enter is hard. You don't know how to save them, yet they are there and that is where they will stay. Enjoy to the fullest, enjoy with all your heart, make new memories. Peace be with you all.
#Sweet story!!!! So cute💖💖😆🥰. I love 💖 ALL of you!!! Musik is spiritual, it comes from God. It touches the depths of the soul, the very blue print of it, ANY kind of musik. So be careful what you listen to! I BEED music, it's therapeutic for me!! Always lifts the spirit and bring joy, I must listen to it for hours almost most days period. Music is my SOUL. Stay up 1, Jesus Christ is God, Jesus Christ is King, may He bless you and protect you.#. #I am god\I am Michael Jackson 💖💖🤡🤡🔥🙏🏻
I used to play the piano and sometimes sing hymns to my grandmother, who raised me. A lot of her personality and ability to remember who I was had mostly disappeared, but when I would start playing, a lot of her memory would come back. She remembered me. She remembered the words. She remembered to be happy. I would play and sing until my fingers and wrists ached, or my voice was almost gone because I didn't want her to go away again. She passed away in late March of 2020. My fondest memories of her during the last few years are the times we spent at the piano, remembering.
My dad had dementia and vascular dementia. He was a jim reeves fan and when we played his songs 🎵. He was start singing his songs. His face would light up when he heard the songs. He would always ask for a wee dram of whiskey.
When our grandma had dementia in the 1970's and lost her power of speech we used to play the music of her youth and she would respond. Her favourite song was "If I had my life to live over". Also placing tactile things on her lap to touch, such as a piece of velvet or a seashell seemed to give her some enrichment.
I totally believe in this premise and research and have noticed similar reactions with my 95-yr. old dad. When the music starts, that he knows , he sings, remembers the words and his personality comes out more.
Music is MEDICINE for me, it just CARESSES my heart,makes me fill HIGH, gives life to my WHOLE self, just can't do without music(even if I have to sing though my voice is so pathetic 😓🤷😓 but too bad.) Music brings healing: Indeed it is SOUL FOOD🤗🎶🤗

My dad had dementia and vascular dementia. We were lucky because he still recognised us The evil thing about this disease is he thought our mum was still alive. But we would tell him that she was fine or sleeping. Then we would put on Jim reeves for him then he would just start singing along with the song. Then fall asleep with his music on. I just wish that everywhere in the world 🌎. That governments would recognised this horrible disease and what it does to the mums or dads that have it they would help the family alot more and the people in nursing homes or hospitals alot more funding to maybe one day a cure. God bless everyone in the world 🌎who family member who has this disease stops. Love from Glasgow Scotland.xx
I'm a Patient Companion : my patient,s have Dementia. I always play soothing,relaxing music for them. They enjoy and Sing and sometimes dance.. music is therapy for the mind,body and soul..
I'm working with music and dementia through my company Lyckna. Even though I see this on a regular basis, it never stops to amaze me. Music has a profound effect on humans, and in particular when cognition is damaged due to dementia. I wish everyone knew about this. /Isak
I need to remember this. Am going to a nursing home to share with those people lined up on a wall n share music with them.Hopefully able to get 5 people in a group to listen at the same time. Music transcends the ages. Thank u for making their lives better! Keep on keeping on!
My comment is a lot longer than I thought it would be. I still hope you will read it. I use to work in a care center years ago. I was the activities person. We had a memory unit and one day I would take a record player and records from their generation. I'm 60 now and I worked at the care center when I was in my 20's. Anyhow I would do activities that involved listening to music. One of the gentlemen named Frank started singing the music and engaged with me the 1st time. He usually just sat in his chair and I would look into his eyes and it was like nobody was home. Until I played a record from the big band era. All of the sudden his eyes and his face changed immediately. The charge nurse and the activity director thought I was loosing it since Frank and a lady named Catherine started smiling and Frank started talking about Benny Goodman I think it was. He also loved a song called "Little Brown Jug". I don't know who sang that song. It's crazy to this day I remember the name of the song. This was in the 80's. So a long time ago. I will never forget how Frank started talking about his wife that died a number of years before he was put in the care center by family. He was describing listening to Benny Goodman at a concert. He would tap his foot and sing part of the songs. Both Frank and Catherine loved the songs from that generation. They were in their late 80' or early 90's. I'm sure both are them are gone now. I told my husband, daughters and others that if I end up in the hospital and the doctors wants to put me on machines, to play music for me. The power of music is under rated. In 2018, I ended up in ICU because I had sepsis. The doctors or nurses brought me back 3 or 4 times. The doctors told them that if they had to resuscitate me again, they would have to let me go because I was in multi organ failure. That's when my husband and oldest daughter remembered what I said about playing music that I like because of the power of music. My husband came back to our house to get the DVD player and the music I listen to was already loaded in the DVD player. I'm a Christian and all of the songs in the DVD player was Christian artists. They started playing the music constantly. My pastor was at the hospital the following day and he was listening to what the doctors and nurses was saying about how my blood pressure and other things started getting better about an hour after the music was started. I live in Utah and I think all of the doctors and nurses was Mormon or other faiths from my understanding. My daughters and grand daughter came to visit me. I'm only sharing what so many others told me. I had hundreds of people praying for me that belongs to a number of churches in our area. I knew so many people from other churches since I was involved in a lot of activities with a number of churches. Anyhow, my daughters, grand daughters and pastor was praying for me before our pastor left so my daughters could visit. I guess a few minutes after he prayed my eyes opened up. I was on machines and breathing tubes so I couldn't speak. But I could see and hear them talking. I remember when my daughter told me that my husband will be there to visit around 4pm.A week after that I was in a regular room and I was able to walk and do things. Even though it was very slow progress. A doctor and a couple physical therapist came to my room the day before I was sent to the rehab unit. They were beyond shocked at how much better I was. One PT asked me who the singers on the DVD player was. I told him that it was For King and Country, Danny Gokey, 2 WOW DVD with various singers. The PT guy said that he felt it was my faith and the faith and prayers of others that got me through. I don't remember anything until after I was there for 6 weeks.
I think something that needs to be looked into more is not the mystical side of this with music being some romantic magical thing. It seems like it's reactivating dormant neural connections. There could be many more catalysts to help promote this neural connection! And maybe we can learn enough about how memories and created and how they connect and maintain themselves to the point where dementia and Alzheimer becomes so manageable that it's practically non existent. I think this is key. Asides from my opinion this musical catalyst is clearly working. It really shows the bodies ability under the right conditions to repair itself. Rather than use drugs
I am so glad this is a wonderful idea. Thinking how many times you listening to music in your brain brings you back to the special time when you heard it first or heard it with somebody special. It always Alters my moods so this is amazing
Music is truly the key to the soul the tunes the tones the melodys it all brings rushing back a time in life when it was whatever we were doing and for a moment in time u can rewind
Will it be then of benefit to these patients to have a small radio in their rooms playing the music that they like frequently, or could it be that at some moment they get so used to it that it becomes 'background noise' and loses its effectivity?
I understand the reason for having nursing homes or long-term care homes, but they’re very fact that they exist breaks my heart, because I’ve seen far too many family members die lonely and abandoned in those nursing homes. That for me is my worst nightmare come true, and if it came time to make a decision I would take my life before I would let anyone put me in one of those homes. I know that’s a controversial statements, and you’ll probably think I’m a hypocrite, but you have to understand that all the family I saw in these homes were put there not by me, I was only a kid, I had no say in the matter, but I gave my family hell for doing it, when I was 10 years old no less. Three of my aunts, and my grandmother on my dad side all died in those nursing homes. Because I was so young they wouldn’t let me go there unescorted, but I finally got one of the nurses to let me see my grandmother at least, but they would not let me see my aunts, as they were in a different home. I would go there every day after school without fail, and even though she didn’t recognize me because she had Alzheimer’s, at least I knew I was there, and I think somehow deep in the back of her mind, she knew somebody loved her and somebody cared, but all I ever saw were people lined up in the hallway in a wheelchair sitting there all day long by themselves. To me that is a fate worse than jail, and it just kills me that people just haven’t got the time to take care of their family members when they get old and frail. I realize there are times when medical care is required 24 hours a day, I understand that, but we have a home care now, and here where I live it’s covered by the government, so there’s no excuse unless the person Hass to be hooked up to machines all day, to throw our elderly away like they don’t even matter anymore. My mother is just about to turn 89 and my father is 87, they both live alone in their own condo 60 km from my home, but I am there every single day to do whatever they need me to do, because I made them a promise a long time ago, that I would never ever put them into one of those places. My father told me his single greatest regret in life was allowing the doctors to talk him into putting his mother away into one of those nursing homes. He hated going there because even though he wanted mitt it I know it broke everything in him to see his mother in that condition. But because I was over young, and they both worked full-time, and we didn’t have home health care back then, I guess he really didn’t have much of a choice because she kept wandering away, and kept getting lost inside the house, with all sorts of problems happening, until he had no choice but to give into the doctors. Honestly, unless my mom or father requires medical care being hooked up to machines 24/7, I will never ever put them in one of those places, at 53 years old I live on permanent long-term disability because I have Crohn’s disease and have intestinal cancer, I’ve had it four times in a row and beat it every time, but despite all that I’m still strong, and quite capable of taking care of my parents, I’ll do anything necessary to avoid putting them in those homes, I would never forgive myself if I did something so cruel. I realize not everyone is as lucky, they don’t have family members to take care of them, so they have no choice but to go into these homes, but I still can’t help but feel both heartbroken and angry that after living for so long and contributing so much to society that this is how we are forced to end our lives, it’s just not right. It’s not fair that we should be throwing away like yesterday‘s garbage, and forgotten about. I know unfortunately that I could very well be one of those people because I’m in the same sex marriage, I have been for 33 years, but we have no children, and I have no younger members of the family to take care of me when I get older, and due to my health I already have my funeral pre-paid for, and plans for every single possibility that might come up in the future. But I have made it blatantly clear that I will not go into a nursing home or a long-term care home, if that is the case my final wish is to be allowed assisted suicide, and I mean that sincerely, I will not live as just another body sitting in a wheelchair stuck in a hallway all by myself all day long waiting for death to come take me, no, if it comes to that point, I’m going to decide. I already have a do not resuscitate order written in all of my medical charts, I have made my wishes perfectly clear to my family, because chances are I’m not gonna live a heck of a lot longer after going through 37 surgeries that removed over 95% of my G.I. tract, not to mention barely surviving cancer four times already and it came back again, there’s nothing more they can do for me. I fight like hell, because I had to take care of my parents, I have one older sister who doesn’t give a damn about my parents, all she cares about is money, but that’s a different story, she’s been written out of the wheel and out of their life along time ago after threatening to put them in a nursing home when they were both sick in the hospital. I made damn sure she has no say in their lives whatsoever, because I want the best and only the best for my parents, and I will not settle for second-best, even if I’m dead, at least I can die knowing that they will be taken care of properly. My dad is the last surviving member of his family, my mother is from Nova Scotia and has a huge family who has already promised that if dad dies first, and I’m already gone, they’ll come here and take care of her and will not put her in a home. If Mom dies first and I’m gone, I have made arrangements for my best friends who look at my dad like a second father to take care of him, either in his house or their house. I’ve already got them to sign a legal document stating just that. You see, in my mind, unless there’s absolutely no family at all to help, there’s no reason to put people in these prisons, I could’ve easily taken care of my grandmother if I were older, despite the Alzheimer’s, she could have stayed in our home, with round-the-clock home care to assist me for the medical necessities, and I don’t care what anyone says, even if they can’t recognize you, they can feel the love, the warmth, and the attention they so desperately desire and deserve. I’m sorry if I have offended anybody, that’s not my intention at all, I’m simply expressing my own personal opinion, after watching my aunts and my grandmother die alone, and most often ignored, I just can’t let it happen to any other member of my family within my lifetime. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent the last 30 years of my life, actually longer, being diagnosed when I was only 20, hospitalized, I’m a lot more sympathetic, because I know what it feels like, depression doesn’t begin to describe how it makes you feel, when you beg for death, because you don’t want to live anymore like this, you know there’s something seriously wrong. I remember vividly all of my aunts and my grandmother begging for death, it’s only now I fully understand why, and I will never let it happen to anyone I love ever again. Thank you for listening, and God bless.
I can't tell you what music means to me, I played the Voila from 1972 to 1980, some music, the things I see in my Mind, i played the Voila, but would be Swept Away, A fuge in G Minor still makes me cry, or Handel waterworks
LISTING!! AND NOTING!! THE PROGRESS OF TECHNOLOGY... MAKE IT KNOWN TO THE WOMAN TO THE MAN THEY ARE RESPECTED, ALWAYS WITH GOD!! ALWAYS! GOD IS WITH THEM! BE THEIR ANGELS!! BE THEIR WINGS BECAUSE CHRISTIANITY IS KEY IN THE UNITED STATES, AND FREEDOM, THE UNITED STATES HOLDS VERY DEAR AND CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS!!! * ACKNOWLEDGING YOU HAVE RESPECT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL-SHOWS GOD, YOU LOVE THAT INDIVIDUAL LIKE GOD WOULD LOVE YOU, IF HE WERE HERE ON EARTH!!

I think this is key. Asides from my opinion this musical catalyst is clearly working. It really shows the bodies ability under the right conditions to repair itself. Rather than use drugs
I am so glad this is a wonderful idea. Thinking how many times you listening to music in your brain brings you back to the special time when you heard it first or heard it with somebody special. It always Alters my moods so this is amazing
I'd like to hear exactly what music they are listening to.

Music heals all.
I love this! There's something about music 🎼🎶 that moves and affects us all in positive or negative ways. It's never neutral HalleluYah! ❤️
Lovely and cute grandma with glasses and grey hair
Music is truly the key to the soul the tunes the tones the melodys it all brings rushing back a time in life when it was whatever we were doing and for a moment in time u can rewind
Try listening to the Quran and you will be the king of the world
Try listening to the Quran and you will be the king of the world
just brilliant. keep up with the good work :)
Brave people! Thanks them!!!
They will be playing AC/DC for me.
Doing great work
I hearded that the part of music in the brain is in a different place then the Alzheimer/Dementia... beautiful to see this!
This is AMAZING!!!
Imagine being evil enough to put on The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time
brings love to their soul
Will it be then of benefit to these patients to have a small radio in their rooms playing the music that they like frequently, or could it be that at some moment they get so used to it that it becomes 'background noise' and loses its effectivity?
So beautiful ❤️❤️
I understand the reason for having nursing homes or long-term care homes, but they’re very fact that they exist breaks my heart, because I’ve seen far too many family members die lonely and abandoned in those nursing homes. That for me is my worst nightmare come true, and if it came time to make a decision I would take my life before I would let anyone put me in one of those homes. I know that’s a controversial statements, and you’ll probably think I’m a hypocrite, but you have to understand that all the family I saw in these homes were put there not by me, I was only a kid, I had no say in the matter, but I gave my family hell for doing it, when I was 10 years old no less. Three of my aunts, and my grandmother on my dad side all died in those nursing homes. Because I was so young they wouldn’t let me go there unescorted, but I finally got one of the nurses to let me see my grandmother at least, but they would not let me see my aunts, as they were in a different home. I would go there every day after school without fail, and even though she didn’t recognize me because she had Alzheimer’s, at least I knew I was there, and I think somehow deep in the back of her mind, she knew somebody loved her and somebody cared, but all I ever saw were people lined up in the hallway in a wheelchair sitting there all day long by themselves. To me that is a fate worse than jail, and it just kills me that people just haven’t got the time to take care of their family members when they get old and frail. I realize there are times when medical care is required 24 hours a day, I understand that, but we have a home care now, and here where I live it’s covered by the government, so there’s no excuse unless the person Hass to be hooked up to machines all day, to throw our elderly away like they don’t even matter anymore. My mother is just about to turn 89 and my father is 87, they both live alone in their own condo 60 km from my home, but I am there every single day to do whatever they need me to do, because I made them a promise a long time ago, that I would never ever put them into one of those places. My father told me his single greatest regret in life was allowing the doctors to talk him into putting his mother away into one of those nursing homes. He hated going there because even though he wanted mitt it I know it broke everything in him to see his mother in that condition. But because I was over young, and they both worked full-time, and we didn’t have home health care back then, I guess he really didn’t have much of a choice because she kept wandering away, and kept getting lost inside the house, with all sorts of problems happening, until he had no choice but to give into the doctors. Honestly, unless my mom or father requires medical care being hooked up to machines 24/7, I will never ever put them in one of those places, at 53 years old I live on permanent long-term disability because I have Crohn’s disease and have intestinal cancer, I’ve had it four times in a row and beat it every time, but despite all that I’m still strong, and quite capable of taking care of my parents, I’ll do anything necessary to avoid putting them in those homes, I would never forgive myself if I did something so cruel. I realize not everyone is as lucky, they don’t have family members to take care of them, so they have no choice but to go into these homes, but I still can’t help but feel both heartbroken and angry that after living for so long and contributing so much to society that this is how we are forced to end our lives, it’s just not right. It’s not fair that we should be throwing away like yesterday‘s garbage, and forgotten about. I know unfortunately that I could very well be one of those people because I’m in the same sex marriage, I have been for 33 years, but we have no children, and I have no younger members of the family to take care of me when I get older, and due to my health I already have my funeral pre-paid for, and plans for every single possibility that might come up in the future. But I have made it blatantly clear that I will not go into a nursing home or a long-term care home, if that is the case my final wish is to be allowed assisted suicide, and I mean that sincerely, I will not live as just another body sitting in a wheelchair stuck in a hallway all by myself all day long waiting for death to come take me, no, if it comes to that point, I’m going to decide. I already have a do not resuscitate order written in all of my medical charts, I have made my wishes perfectly clear to my family, because chances are I’m not gonna live a heck of a lot longer after going through 37 surgeries that removed over 95% of my G.I. tract, not to mention barely surviving cancer four times already and it came back again, there’s nothing more they can do for me. I fight like hell, because I had to take care of my parents, I have one older sister who doesn’t give a damn about my parents, all she cares about is money, but that’s a different story, she’s been written out of the wheel and out of their life along time ago after threatening to put them in a nursing home when they were both sick in the hospital. I made damn sure she has no say in their lives whatsoever, because I want the best and only the best for my parents, and I will not settle for second-best, even if I’m dead, at least I can die knowing that they will be taken care of properly. My dad is the last surviving member of his family, my mother is from Nova Scotia and has a huge family who has already promised that if dad dies first, and I’m already gone, they’ll come here and take care of her and will not put her in a home. If Mom dies first and I’m gone, I have made arrangements for my best friends who look at my dad like a second father to take care of him, either in his house or their house. I’ve already got them to sign a legal document stating just that. You see, in my mind, unless there’s absolutely no family at all to help, there’s no reason to put people in these prisons, I could’ve easily taken care of my grandmother if I were older, despite the Alzheimer’s, she could have stayed in our home, with round-the-clock home care to assist me for the medical necessities, and I don’t care what anyone says, even if they can’t recognize you, they can feel the love, the warmth, and the attention they so desperately desire and deserve. I’m sorry if I have offended anybody, that’s not my intention at all, I’m simply expressing my own personal opinion, after watching my aunts and my grandmother die alone, and most often ignored, I just can’t let it happen to any other member of my family within my lifetime. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent the last 30 years of my life, actually longer, being diagnosed when I was only 20, hospitalized, I’m a lot more sympathetic, because I know what it feels like, depression doesn’t begin to describe how it makes you feel, when you beg for death, because you don’t want to live anymore like this, you know there’s something seriously wrong. I remember vividly all of my aunts and my grandmother begging for death, it’s only now I fully understand why, and I will never let it happen to anyone I love ever again. Thank you for listening, and God bless.
Most of us are going to be like this someday. It's scary
That's awesome
Music has power
I can't tell you what music means to me, I played the Voila from 1972 to 1980, some music, the things I see in my Mind, i played the Voila, but would be Swept Away, A fuge in G Minor still makes me cry, or Handel waterworks
Can't take away the music , my sister lives hearing music
Music heals a little bit 🌈

Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.
