Music Mentoring / Ipod Program

Get Connected Icon Get Connected Icon ongoing

Description

Volunteers will be trained in effective communication and use of iPods and other devices used in order to help mentor people suffering with Dementia and Alzheimer's through music and conversation. Volunteers will visit preselected locations and use the already purchased iPods to help engage residents in conversation. The volunteer's will take notes on the responses and reactions given. During this interaction rapport is built, and it encourages cognitive thoughts and responses, and in some cases this can bring back precious times family members may have lost.
