Caregiving with Compassion: Memories Through Music

We want to shine a light on the commitment and dedication of the more than 44 million family caregivers who take care of loved ones, providing 4.7 million dollars’ worth  of care every year.  A family caregiver is defined as an individual who cares for a loved one with a short-term or long-term disability or illness. Also known as an informal or unpaid caregiver, they provide invaluable care to those who need some degree of ongoing assistance with everyday tasks on a regular basis.Sometimes a Caregiver isn’t full time or hands on, sometimes it’s something that fills in the gaps and creates a connection with the outside world. In this episode we’ll be shining a light on the Music and Memory program, a program that connects seniors with dementia to local high school students by sharing music from their era to help invoke memories and allow communication between older and newer generations. Check out Namish's podcast "5 AM Hustle Podcast" on all streaming platforms.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4JDEKnaNhWAL0ceZmZ7dsxApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/5-am-hustle/id1509484022Instagram: @5amhustlepodcastFacebook: facebook.com/AgeGuideTwitter: twitter.com/AgeGuide Instagram: instagram.com/theageguidepodcastPodcast: ageguide.org/the-age-guide-podcastWebsite: ageguide.org
