Interactive Music 4 Alzheimers helps improve understanding, mood, behavior and communication. The benefits can include enhanced memory, lowered stress levels, reduced symptoms of depression, improved sleep, reduced agitation and anxiety and improved cognition. IM4A is for long term care individuals and loved ones in assisted living facilities, even senior centers. IM4A also supports adults with disabilities, mentally challenged individuals and children with special healthcare needs.
“Music is a universal language that touches our souls, enlivens our bodies, and connects us to others. Music can help a resident retrieve memories or important feelings they had from those memories,” says Heidi List Murphy, “For example, a wedding song can make someone with Alzheimers feel the way they did on their wedding day.” IM4A is the connection between you and your loved one and/or your cared for senior.
