About
Custom Tab
Our focus is those with early to mid-stage Alzheimer's/dementia and their Caregivers along with Community Volunteers. Musical memory and the ability to sing favorite songs are some of the last memories that those with this disease retain. So, singing is a joyful activity for them. The camaraderie and fellowship that develops among those with this debilitating disease, their caregivers and those people who are also in the same boat, helps to form a wonderful new support system and new memories as well. Weekly attendance on Thursdays ranges from 40 to 50 people.
