How music helps dementia patients and caregivers w/ Candyce Slusher, St. Michael's Home Care

There has been much discussion on Caregiver SOS on Air and elsewhere about the power of music and its positive impact on Alzheimer’s and other patients with dementia in institutional settings. But little attention has been focused on music as a tool for dementia patients living at home, until now. Candyce Slusher, founder and managing partner of St. Michael’s Home Care, shares with Caregiver SOS on Air listeners the positive impact music can have on caregivers and care recipients in the home. And she details ways in which caregivers can build a music library that is soothing and emotionally supportive for dementia patients. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
