Music can help people with dementia connect with others, even after verbal communication has become difficult.
To help improve quality of life for tribal community members with dementia and their caregivers, the Native American Outreach Program at Banner Alzheimer’s Institute collaborated with Sunshine Music Therapy and Canyon Records to record a compact disc (CD) of songs performed by Native artists.
Titled “Walk with Me,” the CD will be distributed in tribal communities where outreach on the topic of dementia may be difficult.
Caregivers may also opt to email Banner Health Institute directly to request the CD.
