♥️ Music activates the part of the brain that dementia destroys last. It’s one of the few things that can make a person with dementia happy or calm, because the familiarity and emotions the music evokes overrides the constant fear and anxiety they experience. It feels like “home”.

There is a documentary called “Alive Inside” about this. Also, for anyone caring for a loved one with dementia, I highly recommend looking up Teepa Snow videos on YouTube. She’s an absolute godsend for dementia patient caregivers and family members.
