Music Heals Minds
Musical Interventions for Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
Mission
Music Heals Minds provides high quality musical performances to patients living under skilled care. We are committed to easing the journey through serious illness, loss, and trauma recovery. We curate a broad range of music and movement-based content, encompassing all styles and genres, while inviting patients to make requests for their favorite songs and reconnect to memories. Our dedicated artists are trained by Certified Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care Trainers (NCCDP) and can engage patients of all ages with terminal, chronic, or life-limiting illnesses. Our all-encompassing programs address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients and their families.

What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Music Mornings
Alzheimer’s patients who listen to music - especially familiar songs - often experience temporarily reduced anxiety and stress, enhanced self-consciousness, improved cognitive performance, refined verbal and autobiographical memory, and improved overall well being.
We provide a comfortable, consistent, and affordable pathway to these outcomes.
For patients experiencing depression or low self-esteem, Music Heals Minds provides platforms to be seen, heard, and to feel successful at a time in their lives when such feelings may be rare.
