Zoom – Dear Lucy: How Music Can Help People with Dementia
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
The session will illustrate from research findings that brain scans have shown that the part of our brain that processes music does not get damaged in dementia. Caregivers will receive tips on how to engage with their loved ones who suffer from dementia through music.
