How many memories can an iPod hold? Our older friends, even those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, can reconnect with memories through music that was meaningful to them in younger days. Their favorite music, found in a personalized playlist of favorite music developed for each resident, is a lifeline to their best memories. Music has been proven to help recover memories, stimulate recognition, reduce pain and enhance quality of life.
Give the gift of joy through the healing power of music by participating in the iPod drive to benefit the Music & Memory program at Connecticut Baptist Homes in Meriden. We will gratefully accept gently used iPods of any generation, old iPhones if you have upgraded, iTunes gift cards for the purchase of music, or monetary donations to purchase headphones and accessories.
More information can be found at www.musicandmemory.org; including a video clip [posted below] of Henry, a nursing home resident reawakened by listening to his favorite Cab Calloway songs. CBH will gladly pick up donated equipment from your church office.
Please contact the Reverend Katherine Fagerburg, Chaplain at Connecticut Baptist Homes, for more information; kfagerburg@ctbaptisthomes.org.
