Wisconsin's Music and Memory Initiative is a Department of Health Services program designed to serve 100 Wisconsin nursing homes. Data indicates Wisconsin has about 29,000.00 people residing in 397 of the State nursing homes. About 16,000.00 or over 50% of the residents have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has contracted with Dan Cohen to conduct 3 (90 minute) training sessions to help nursing home staff and families deliver this new service. The goal is to create a personalized play list for the individual experiencing memory loss. Dan Cohen is the founder of Music and Memory.
This is a progressive intervention that includes the art of music, neurology, and the science of caring. Home Care Path encourages readers to follow this program as it spreads in to Wisconsin communities.
